Aura

by attentionE13, Feb 04, 2008 07:39PM
Hi. I am in college and have been diagnosed with migraine headaches. Recently I have had aura one to a couple times a day for several days in a row, but with no headache following the aura. My aura is most of the time a color and either a circle, a square, or in my peripheral vision. Is aura a symtpom for other health issues? Please help :o) After I have them, I become tired :(

Hi,

Have you had a complete eye examination by an ophthalmolgist? An underlying eye problem needs to be ruled out.

Migraine headaches with aura do have a subform wherein a typical aura like a visual symptom may occur without the presence of headaches or headaches occur in more than an hour or so but not during the presence of an aura.

An EEG may also help rule out an accompanying seizure. Partial seizures may present with aura.This is just one of the differentials though.So discuss your concerns with your physician.

Keep a close follow up with your physician.Do keep us posted for anything.
