Patient's Query

Hello,

When I see any object, I feel like I can see only half of it and after that I experience pain in the eyes. I also have severe headache soon after that. What could it be?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

These symptoms indicate migraine headache.

These vision related symptoms are present in aura (temporary visual disturbances that precede the migraine headache).

The treatment of migraine headache is by use of analgesic drugs in acute episodes and by use of prophylactic drugs like flunarizine to prevent recurrent attacks.

Consult a general medicine physician online for further investigations and treatment.
