Hormones, caffeine, stress, sleep
Have you ever had an ocular migraine??
I've now only had two. EVER!
the first one I ever had was when I started taking SSRI which I do not take anymore. It's really kind of scary because for about 2 hours you think you've got a clot or cancer or your eyes are going to fall out idk but usually you'll start to see flashing and jagged edges and things will blur. Nothing typically hurts right away. In my case, I was having little nose twitches and then the sight happened and now it's just a full blown migraine.
Today, I was at work trying to enter in a clients phone number on our iPad and all of a sudden the keyboard disappeared and I was like huh... that's not right...
sat in the restroom for a while and then got sent home. I shouldn't have driven myself but the sight came back and it was a good window of time since I live 5 minutes away. I was getting a really bad migraine though and we didn't have pain meds on hand so leaving was the best thing for me to do.
Anyway, this happened almost 2 weeks after my ovarian cyst rupture. And don't yell at me!! But I also hadn't eaten anything because food is expensive and I just didn't feel like ordering anything. But as someone with near diabetic history and pcos that was a very unwise choice of me to make so now I know! My dr thinks I'm perimenopausal at 29 to which I say lmfao I think I'm just hormonally imbalanced

Ocular migraines, a type of migraine characterized by visual disturbances, can be triggered by a variety of factors including hormonal changes, stress, and caffeine consumption. These migraines often involve symptoms like flashes of light or zig-zag patterns in vision. Recent studies indicate that people with hormonal imbalances, such as those with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or those experiencing perimenopause, are more susceptible to migraines. Stress management techniques, adequate sleep, and a balanced diet can help mitigate the frequency of these migraines. Understanding how lifestyle choices affect migraine patterns is crucial for those prone to them. For individuals experiencing these symptoms, consulting with a healthcare professional for tailored advice is recommended. Additionally, staying informed through health communities can provide support and shared experiences that aid in managing this condition effectively.
