How to treat ocular migraine?

by tt91352, Jan 13, 2006 12:00AM

Any body knows how to treat ocular migraine? I recently developed this problem. It is so horrible. It is horrible to me because it won't go away and making me couldn't do anything.

Any methods except resting in the dark place or sleeping. Because I can not sleep when I have ocular migraine.

the same way a "regular" migraine is treated. the same medications work b/c its the same process. try excedrin 1st, or ibuprofen & caffiene. if its recurrent you'll need a neuro eval and possibly be rx'd migraine meds like imetrex...

my dr told me when i first started having them that if they became bothersome they would treat them with the same meds they use for regular migraines. i haven't had to go that route yet-as mine are not that frequent-still scary tho! i believe mine are triggered by extreme stress and/or lack of sleep
