What Causes Recurring Headache And Visualising Black Spots?
For the last 24 hours I ve had a constant searing headache which is not something I ve had before. It s constant and strong codeine painkillers only stop it temporarily. Also from time to time I ve started seeing black spots just outof my fieldof vision that look like insects flying around.They move when my eye moves so I can t look directly at them and there s 1 to 3 of them. It s not all the time but I saw them today when I had a particularly hard personal training session in the gym

Hi and welcome to HCM,
You have not mentioned your age and about any preexisting medical condition like diabetes or blood pressure. However, the visual symptoms you have described are called as floaters. Fortunately in the majority of the cases, floaters are not serious, but never the less should be checked out by an ophthalmologist.
All the best !!!
