A member asked:

Silent migraine or tia? 26yr f 8 mos pregnant experienced sudden peripheral vision loss/blurry/double vision in rt eye. got a little dizzy. lasted 10 sec.

Probably neither: Visual migraine usually lasts longer than 10 seconds, and while a TIA is possible, this would be uncommon in a 26 yo. Contact your ob/gyn about this, and get an eye exam asap to rule out ocular problems.

Check B.P NOW!: Have your OB md check your blood pressure to make sure that it is not elevated and causing brain swelling(edema). A 2nd cause is pituitary swelling during pregnancy which puts pressure on the optic chiasma(optic nerves crossing) which is just below the pituitary gland in the brain.. Either way notify your OB now!
