I can't see.

[BrianNeedsHelp]

Ever since I was in sixth grade (i am now 20), I got "ophthalmologic migraine's". I'd see weird lights, like tv snow, and then lose my vision for about an hour at most, then got a HORRIBLE migraine. But recently I had one, and it hasnt went away. I feel like im stuck in the first 5 minutes of that kind of headache, where I can see, but not see everything. Like a blind spot. What should I do? my eyes feel  strained, and I dont have a headache. Please help. It feels like something is missing out of the picture.

Also, I have a pituitary tumor, but its a microadenoma. The surgeon said it was not causing these headaches. That was a year ago.

Please help.

Thanks for the response. what are other symptoms of it being the tumor? The only symptoms i have , is the "blind spot" and eye strain.

I cannot tell you if its migraine or something else. That's why they are doing tests. Migraines sometimes become so painful they require medication for relief

My Neurologist told me this is a type of migraine. He offered me medicine and I havent been able to be put on it because I have neglected my MRI. I am getting one friday, and Will then be put on medicine, but Why wont this go away? if it is a migraine?

Call your neurologist or neurosurgeon and tell them what's happened. One or the other of them should see you for a repeat evaluation: 1 to make sure your new problem is not the pit tumor. second if it is migraine to discuss medication to treat
