    Anyone else get headaches with flashing lights in your eyes? I can't work out what triggers mine. Sometimes I think it's to do with light - if there's something bright in the corner of my eyes then it might set it off. I always get the flashing light in my left eye only, but it still leaves me unable to focus. I've been doing nothing for the last 10 minutes as I couldn't focus on the screen! Anyone got any tips/remedies for these type of headaches? TIA X|

      I'm not a doctor but it sounds like you should see one. That doesn't sound normal at all.

        My mom had it for decades. We worked out that the two major reasons in her case were certain foods (cheese and oranges) and tense neck and shoulder muscles. So get a massage is my tip, for what it's worth. I understand that there can be quite a few different reasons.

          Do you get a 'fish-hook' sensation in your vision too? It sounds like a migraine though.

            Yeah. I don't get these headaches all the time. Sometimes it can be months in between 'flashing light' migraines. Maybe I should book an appt with the quack. But they normally don't care unless you're dying, and even then they only refer you to a specialist 6 months later. :thumbsup:

              To me it sounds like a severe case of phantom pain[^]. ;P Although seriously, you should see a doc about that. //L

                Hmmm, haven't had any cheese and oranges so that can't be it. I've tried to keep a record of what I've eaten to pinpoint it to no avail. I've had these things on and off since I was a kid and just thought it was normal. I'm going home tonight for the first time in 2 1/2 weeks, so the missus can help me out with a massage ;)

                  If you mean does the flashing lights look like a 'hook', then kind of yeah. It's like a malformed semi circle. Again only in the left eye.

                    That is conclusive then, it is a migraine. Take an aspirin abd sit in a darkened room for a while. (Don't drive!)

                      I know it sounds crazy, but it has something to do with the moon too. Full moon and tides, I believe.

                                      Honestly. It's the honest ones you want to watch out for...

                                        Heh, yeah that's good. I thought you were going to say I had the plague or something. And about driving, yeah I won't be driving anywhere today! Today is 'home day' - otherwise known as 'beer day'! :beer: cures all! :)

                                          Ooo err missus! Thanks, I checked out the symptoms and it doesn't seem appropriate. I've had these types of headaches since I were a nipper. Plus I were wear glasses and contacts, so have my eyes checked regularly, so you hope they would spot anything serious, although I'm not aware if they check for retinal detachment. Thanks anyways! :)
