What Causes Sudden Blurred Vision And Severe Headache?

I was sitting in office and all of a sudden my vision started to get blurry. I couldn t concentrate or even see the ball. It felt like I had looked at the sun for awhile, but it didn t go away. Around half an hour after that I started to get a really bad headache . When I got home, I threw up on the grass. Also I would like to add my periods are due and m just having spotting. Is it related to this?

Hello,
Thank you for the query at healthcare magic

Your symptoms are suggestive of migraine with aura. Aura preceeds the episode of headache and is characterized by visual disturbances..
Some women experience migraine symptoms around the time of menstruation.


There are few things that can help relieve the symptoms
-During an episode of headache, you can take Ibuprofen(if not allergic) for pain
-Taking a cold shower also helps during an acute attack of migraine in some people
-Avoiding stress can help prevent recurrent attacks. Try relaxation techniques like yoga
-Decrease intake of caffeine and chocolate .Limit coffee and caffeinated drinks
-Exposure to bright lights and loud sounds trigger migraine headaches. Try avoiding any such triggering factors
-Get adequate rest and sleep
-Eat healthy meals at regular intervals.Try avoiding getting hungry

There are also medications that can help avoid recurrent episodes of migraine.
Consult your Primary care provider to discuss the long term management of migraine.

Hope I was able to answer your question
Please feel free to address any more concerns
