Headches triggered by non-stop muscle spams b/t eyes

by carolperea, Jun 20, 2009 03:05PM
I have had migraine problems when I was alittle younger, I still have them now and then. Earlier today I began to get 1-2 minute intervels of spasms between my eyes, and they have slowly caused a severe headache/migraine. It has begun to affect my vision, and I have never experienced a migraine like this. Why is this happening? I have taken pain med. and it has not helped much!

Dear caroperea,

I would recommend that you seek the care of an eyeMD to confirm the diagnosis.  Ophthalmic migraines can cause visual disturbances.
