zigzags

[lovely45]

I have zigzags in my eyes. Afterward I have a bad headache and feel very nauseated. Sometimes I vomit. The zigzag last about 25 minutes sometimes less. Is it something that Im eating to trigger this off and is it a cure for it.



This discussion is related to Zig zag like things in vision.

It would be highly unusual for hypothyroidism to cause these symptoms (zig zags, etc).  Migraine variant is the most common cause but as we said above as we get older it is more likely disease of the heart, brain, eye or blood-vessels. You should call your personal physician/family doctor.

You cannot say this is classic migraine without excluding serious disease of the eye, brain, heart and blood vessels. You need to see an ophthalmologist for exam and to discuss and also to see your family MD for a complete physician

I used to have the same thing when I was younger.  Its called a Classic Migraine attack.  It was nothing to do with my eye sight. It is awful as people don't believe you as they can't see anything wrong with you.  You should look on a Migraine website.
Mine never got better until I hit my sixties. Sorry to tell you that.
