Migraine may
consist of severe headache, blurred vision and upset stomach.
Vision disturbance such as flashing lights (kaleidoscope, zigzag,
whirling, sprinkling stars) is often followed by vision loss
which may be partial or total. It usually lasts 30 minutes. A
headache may follow which is severe, piercing and often incapacitating.
Finally, a queasy, upset
stomach may follow. A person may have one part of the migraine
syndrome only. Vision loss in migraine lasts longer than momentary
vision loss or disturbance associated with poor circulation or
retinal problems. Severe, persistent headaches should be reported
to your family doctor.
