Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have classic migraines. Last Saturday I had a aura which lasted about 30 minutes, which is normal for me. However, a small spot of flashing lights has continued to be present. I have never had this happen before and have been having migraines since I was about 10 years old. I am now 73. Other than being an aggravation, it hasn t seemed to bother me in any way. What is going on and should I see my doctor about this?
In migraine aura and flashes of light can be present ... Here when acute attack of migraine rizatriptan 5 mg tablet can be taken and if needed repeat after 4 hour if extra dose needed .....
If your migraine attack severe and frequently repeated with more than four times in month than prophylactic drug amitryptillin needed ....
Avoid precipitating headache factors like ... -smoking -irregular meal -lack of sleep -hypoglycemia -stress etc..
Hope this will help
Advise : physician consultation for neurological examination ....
