The description of your symptoms is concerning. Please see your physician and a Neurologist. There are several possible causes, including uncontrolled migraine headaches which should be considered. Watch for signs of weakness. There are many options in migraine treatment available.

You describe a migraine variant which can be prevented by prophylactic medications. But it appears you have developed "chronic daily migraines", and this pattern may be tough to control, as it has similarity to cluster events. An experienced headache specialist should be sought, as this may require specific CGRP class meds.

Random flashes of burning and tingling mainly in head but can happen anywhere, chronic dizziness, and flashes of lightning in eyes. Doctors think migraines, and Brain/Orbits MRI/V came back normal. Migraine meds dont help. Could this be FND as well?
