Can visual aura alone be migraine?
I’m 21 years old girl, and for the last six years, about once a week, when I wake up from night sleep all I see in my left eye is a very bright light. After some time my vision returns. In the last few weeks it became more frequent and also starts to happen in the other eye. I consulted my doctor and she told me it’s not an important thing, and that it’s probably a specific type of migraine. However, I don’t have any pain at all. Does anyone else have this? Is it possible for migraine to occur only with aura, without any pain? A. Hi, I’m sorry to hear about your problem. Whatever your doctor told you, you should know that if it bothers you, it IS an “important thing”. I also suffer from similiar thing (only visual disturbances after I wake up, without any pain), and when my doctor prescribed me meds they went away. You should consult your doctor again and ask him for a solution for this thing.
