A member asked:
I am constantly getting severe headaches with vision impairment, could these be migraines and scotomata?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Classic migraine starts with some signal event known as an aura. Flashing lights and blind spots in the visual field are common. These symptoms are immediately followed by a headache.
