Sorry about the bad editing. LM

I e had them for many decades but without the migraines. From my late teens into my seventies. Not fun while driving.

[Karliner]

Acephalgic migraines?

[TLI]

Mine stopped when I changed my blood pressure med (Lisinopril).

Never had them before taking it and never had them after I switched.

I also noticed that Vitamin C would set them off if I had not taken any for about a month.

My Mom last week had a black spot in her eye which totally freaked her out..she always worries about retina detachment(Her doc told her it might happen since she has the film on her eye) so she went to the doc and he told her her retina is fine..also told her(Since she was also concerned about a mini stroke) that someone who has a mini stroke will have the entire eye black and wont go away after a few minutes like hers did..that what she had was a migraine

[freedomjusticeruleoflaw]

I have that. . Them.

[bray]

Have had them for decades. Simply relax and close my eyes and they usually leave in 15-30 mins.

[redgolum]

That happened to the daughter of a friend I know.

Once they pulled the tooth, it all went away.

[freedomjusticeruleoflaw]

I have that. . Them.

I had them when I was right at the threshold of being diabetic.
After changing my diet and exercise program they have disappeared.
I actually had a small bleeder by the optic nerve.
Knock on wood of course.

I’ve had ocular migraines a few times. I’ve never figured out if there was a trigger. For me, they appear out of the blue. I think I’ve only experienced them 4 times which I have documented once I had the fourth one. So I looked it up and it was over 2 years ago, mid-April, 2019. They have never given me pain, just the visual disturbance, for 20-25 minutes usually.

Nothing here but my speculation. Not a professional view.

The Auras may have been your body’s way of reacting to the inflamation caused by that bad tooth.
Chronic inflamation of tissue is going to swell that tissue up and produce some level of pressure on surrounding muscle or organs of the body.

Tissue around the eye may not be as full of nerves as most parts, so you won’t always feel pain around the eye until a condition becomes serious. The Auras may show evidence of some kind of swelling or inflamation building up.
I’m glad you are finally without that disturbance.
You may have even discovered what interior events set the stage for your headaches.

A friend of mine has this. I had to take her to the ER the first time it happened. Neither of us had ever heard of “ocular migraines.”
Apparently, eye doctors don’t think it’s a big deal. I don’t remember anything else about it, but I sure wouldn’t want to see bright shining stripes in my eyes :(
I’ve taken her to the dentist too (regular checkups and cleaning) and as far as I know she’s never had a problem with teeth.

[rightwingcrazy]

I’ve gotten them from time to time for years. No other symptoms, no apparent triggers, other than lack of sleep, perhaps. They look something like the images here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scintillating_scotoma

but mine are much more colorful and grand. Bright, twisting, kaleidoscopic. They’d be completely benign, except that they interfere with my vision for a time. Aspirin help. Doctors tell me “no worries”.

My niece suffered debilitating migraines until she had her wisdom teeth extracted.

[pepsi_junkie]

I’ve had them a couple of times, very rarely. Weird but passed after 10-15 minutes. I mentioned it in to my eye doctor and she laughed and said it was nothing, just let it pass. She called them Opthalmic migraines and unfortunately she wrote it down and my wife read the slip I brought home from the doctor. Then she began the research process to determine how to cure me of this ‘it happened twice in my life’ thing. Sigh.

[LibWhacker]

I started getting really bad migraines in my early teens, just about the time I started having a beer on a regular basis, now and then.

There are two approaches. Drink more. Or drink less.

I chose more.

They went away.

[Bullish]

I grew up with a really bad condition known as ‘Cluster Headache’. Doctors and neurologists call it the grand daddy of all headaches, even way worse than migraines. It was extremely difficult to carry on a productive life when my clusters set in. The only thing that ever made them subside is growing older, after 50 they started to be less and less of a problem, now into my early 60s they hardly ever show up and they're much less severe when they do. The literature on Clusters says this is normal, as you get older cluster headache can subside and even disappear altogether.

Anyway, my point being headaches can subside on their own. It happened to me.

[LittleBillyInfidel]

Plus, if anyone reading this has or has recently had these symptoms, please check your blood pressure! You can get a good quality cuff at Walgreens for about $45 so that you can track daily for a month or so. I don’t want any Freeper bro or sister going through the same thing that I did, this time last year. Silent killer!

[Hot Tabasco]

The only thing that changed: I had a bad tooth extracted.

Interesting that you should mention that, my cat is lying next to my computer chair as if she is dead, but she's not since her tail is still twitching.

Glad that you should even bring that up, definitely weird stuff happening these days......
