Dr. Olivia Liao answered

Specializes in Ophthalmology

many possible: Causes. Increased stress, decreased sleep, dehydration, low blood sugar, changes in caffeine, certain times of the month, dietary culprits, barometric pressure changes, bright flickering lights. If you already had a normal head ct, then i recommend you keep an episode diary for 6 wks looking for your triggers.
