Vision Loss with "stabbing" pains in Head
Hello - I have been getting sharp "stabbing" pains in the back of my head and when these occur I have been experiancing vision loss. They are very random and can last from anywhere to 3min to 10min. I did lose vision in high school and had periphial only due to a sports injury but vision was restored after being admitted to the hospital. I do not get migraines at all. Any idea?

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
Occipital headaches—at the back of head, can be a part of migraines and temporary vision loss can be a symptom of this. It can also be due to high blood pressure, and pinched cervical spinal nerves in the upper neck. A more serious cause could be old injury causing suboccipital hemorrhage or bleeding.
Please consult your PCP for primary examination immediately followed by proper referral.
Take care!
