Retinal Migraine: What Is it and Should You Worry About it?

retinal migraine, migraine relief in Vancouver

Retinal migraine is a condition that can cause brief episodes of visual problems or blindness in one eye. It is more common in women than in men. They can be scary for most people; however, most of the cases are not too severe. That means retinal migraines can be harmless, and eyesight could go back to normal after the attack. 

Some experience retinal migraine episodes every few months. However, that may not be the same for others. Its frequency can vary. Did you know that a natural migraine relief in Vancouver exists? Learn more about it in this blog.

 

Symptoms of Retinal Migraine

The visual problems that retinal migraine brings can be disturbing for those who experience it. Common symptoms of retinal migraine include:

  • Headache – they occur in various phases of a retinal migraine attack. 
  • Partial or total loss of vision – an episode can last from 10-20 minutes. Note that it is not normal for your vision to lose longer than an hour. You can experience blurry or dimmed vision. Sometimes, it may even feel like you see flashes of light in one eye.

 

Causes of Retinal Migraine

Retinal migraines primarily stem from the sudden narrowing of blood vessels. Constricting blood vessels cause a reduction of blood flow to the eye. The following triggers the narrowing of blood vessels:

  • Smoking
  • Excessive heat
  • Low blood pressure
  • High blood pressure
  • High altitude
  • Dehydration
  • Stress

Your vision or eyesight returns after you have a good flow of blood again to your eye.

 

Effective Retinal Migraine Relief in Vancouver

You can get retinal migraine relief in Vancouver naturally and safely through upper cervical chiropractic.
