Triggers for Retinal Migraines
Retinal migraines tend to appear from the constriction of blood vessels of eyes that reduces blood flow to eyes. When the blood vessel relax and blood flow resumes to normal then the visual symptoms disappear. Retinal migraines usually are not indicative of any serious problems within the eye and the chance of damage the retina from reduced blood flow is very rare. There are certain factors that tend to trigger retinal migraines. These include – smoking, tobacco use, stress, high blood pressure, use of birth control pills, exercise, dehydration, low sugar levels, too much caffeine, certain foods that contain nitrates and monosodium glutamate. Females are at more risk of retinal migraines as compared to males. People with a family history of retinal migraine and those having sickle cell disease, giant arteritis, lupus are also at risk to suffer from retinal migraines.
Symptoms of Retinal Migraines
The main symptom of a retinal migraine is a temporary change in the vision of one eye. This includes temporary loss of vision (blindness) in one eye, blurred vision, dim vision or twinkling/sparkling/flashes of lights. The visual symptoms tend to last from 10 minutes to 60 minutes. Next symptom is a headache that occurs during the phase of visual symptoms or after that. The headache typically affects one side of the head. Nausea often accompanies the headache. Headache may last from few hours to few days varying from case to case.
My Wife is having ocular pains. They started almost immediately after she wakes up, first by getting sensations that her eyes are pulled/stretched from the sides for a few hours and as the day progresses she gets the pains starting in one of the eye sockets and extending to the forehead and slowly becomes a migrane. We have done CT Scans and checked with traditional Eye doctors and everything is fine and they prescribe panadol or pain killers , which we avoid harshly.
It has been like this for the past 9-10 months.
We have a 2.5 yr old Daughter and she is a handful. My wife sleeps well but our daugther have been difficult as she use to wake up alot as a baby that disturbed my wife’s sleeping cycle, my wife have been a deep long sleeper, and having a baby has taken that away from her. She is currently trying her best to manage her sleep, but these ocular pains/migranes are affecting our life. She is generally anxious and a little depressed too.
