Food - that's interesting.  I'll need to watch for that too.  Thanks

@hick   Thanks so much for posting this and thanks to all who replied citing their experiences with this.  I am one who has recently begun having this occur, and I forwarded all these responses to my DH.  He had mentioned something about eye problems he had been having.

Without being able to see my doctor without it being an emergency, and how would I even know if it was one, the mind turns to dark and concerning "what if"s.  Once I do get covid vaccinations I will be certain to see my doctor and opthmalogist,  But for now, these postings have set my mind more at ease.

The symptoms many of you described are exactly what I and DH have been having.  Thank you all again for sharing.  Lesley

[Q4u]

Since I was around 18..... I will get an aura (my sight starts to lessen, starting at the peripheral getting progressively worse until my sight is totally streaky and moving).  When this starts I take two aspirins (works best for me) and when the aura goes away I'll get a slamming headache.  The aspirin stops most of it.  I then have a spot in my head that hurts every time I cough.  This will last about two days, sometimes less.  Thankfully I don't have them often anymore but certain foods will trigger them and also stress! 

Reading about them really helped me..... good luck/

I started getting these about 8 years ago. Three eye doctors, all MDs, have said it's no big deal. One suggested I take a baby aspirin as that dialates the tiny blood vessels. Pay attention to a shift in light or fluorescent lights. If I am looking outside on a gray day, then look at my bright computer, or go into a bright store, I'll get what I call eye flashers. Also, antihistamines make my eyes more sensitive to the shift in light and boom! Here comes the eye flashers, the little lightening flashes in the vision. I can feel it faintly on my face outside the eyes or just above the eyebrows, it gets a little sore, very faintly.
