I’m having a stressful day today. I was going out but then my car wouldn’t start. My partner’s gone out so I can’t use his car either. I got so angry cause my car wouldn’t start and really tensed myself up. Don’t know why I got so angry either, just did, was rather odd. I’m over my bad mood. But now I keep getting these weird flashing things with my vision. It’s like a light flickers once. The flickering started after my angry outburst then I got a migraine. I get migraines when I stress out, I’m pretty used to them and they don’t make me panicky. I always get white swiggley lines and dots with migraines and I did this time too. But never this flickering thing. It happens so fast it’s hard to tell if it’s really happening at all! I thought maybe it could be a twitch in my face, you know sometimes your eye lids twitch and such. Because I had a slight twitch before too. But that was hours ago, the twitch has gone but the ‘light flicker’ vision thing is still happening. It maybe happens three times an hour. It’s freaking me out cause, of course, I gotta jump to conclusions and fear the worse! I’ve been looking up vision symptoms for migraine on the internet and a couple of sites have mentioned ‘flashy vision’ and ‘flashing lights’ I’m not sure if this is the same thing they’re talking about. It doesn’t appear like lights, it’s more like a light switches off for a split second. But then it also feels like I could be imagining it, it’s that quick and slight.
Does anyone experience this with migraines or should I be phoning an ambulance for retina reattachment? I know that’s extreme, but at the same time I genuinely don’t know what to do and I don’t want to waste emergency service time if I’m just being a hypochondriac. Bah, all because of a stupid car.
Thanks for reading.
