Hi Jodie,

Thanks for writing in.
Your symptoms of headaches and visual symptoms can be due to migraine. You have loss of visual field which can occur in disorders of the eye, optic nerve or brain. It is also important to rule out any history of brain injury or eye injury. Apart from these retinitis pigmentosa, retinal dystrophy, cone rod dystrophy, and glaucoma, optic disc swelling and brain lesions. It is very difficult to tell the exact cause without a clinical exam.
Please go ahead and follow the advice of your doctor. Only after a definite diagnosis is made can anything concrete be said.
Take care!

Hi How are you,
See since CT scan is ok you do not need to worry,,,, it would have shown a tumor or brain growth easily......Did you get you blood test lately.........May be some allergy.....Get you ESR blood test .......
          Tumors cause problems like double vision, motor problems, seizures, confusion....Since CT is ok so no need to worry about.......Do you have sinus problems ....... It seems you feel loss of vision as sinus pressure is likely to be worse near nose and temple area........ I think its a sinus or sinitis problem .... Chill and do not be so worried. ...... All is ok with you
