Hi, I suffer from ocular migraines and have been getting them more frequently. Anyone have these and possibly know what would make me get them more frequently? also, when I see a "bright" area or when I first go outside in daylight I see like a blue colored round "floater" I guess?! anyone know what that could be?? Thanks

i get those too-kinda scary huh? mine seem to be triggered by stress. they did tell me if it became a problem they could prescribe regular migrane meds-you might check with your dr and see if it's an option for you

Yes they are kinda scary! Now that you mention it..im sure its stress..the past couple of months have been stressful. If they continue to be so close together I will talk to my dr. Thanks!!

I am experiencing severe ,sharp, behind my left eye pain only while lifting or exerting myself. Is this a migrane?

Hi Folks: My first ocular migraine started almost 15 years ago following open heart surgery to replace a defective valve. I remember sitting alone, feeling rather upset about the entire surgery when a small but growing irregular shape appeared in the left eye. This progressed to both eyes and what a light display! I had multiple colors, jagged shapes spinning around etc. The first lasted about 40 minutes. Since then, I average an ocular migraine about once a month typically lasting 20-30 minutes. These migraines are preceded by a feeling of being light-headed and towards the end of the event a sense of being tired. I have never had pain associated with any of the events. I have seen numerous specialists at Johns Hopkins and was told that they tend to be brought on by stress.
