It sounds like visual auras associated with migraines.  They're quite common and nothing to panic about.  There are plenty of medications to treat the pain, but I don't think any for the visual auras, which include the flashes and lines you mentioned.  I'm pretty sure migraines can affect the whole neck, throat and back area as well, as they can affect everyone differently.  I have the visual auras as well and know without a diagnosis they can lead to anxiety and disorientation.  I'm surprised your doctor hasn't informed you of this possibility.  Google it and learn more.  Good luck.

Hi,
How are you? It is good that the thyroid function tests were normal. What other diagnostic tests were done? Were you able to see an eye doctor for your vision problems? If physical examination was normal, it is possible that this could be due to primary headaches such as migraine as mentioned above. Another differential is an infection, either viral or bacterial in nature. Treatment will depend on the underlying cause. Migraine usually respond to rest, ice pack, avoidance of triggers and both preventive and abortive medications. Take care and do keep us posted.

Have them test you for Epstein Barr Virus

Why do you suggest Epstein Barr - what kind of experience did you have with it?
