Well about the same time as the eye changes I was getting migraines with
aura once a day for about a week ....I have been having migraines with
aura off and on for about 20 years...I used put my migraines with aura
down to Chocolate but I had been off chocolate for months so I thought
it might be too much salt ...so I stopped adding salt to my food ...and
I loved my salt...and within a few days my migraines stopped and after a
week my eyes had returned to their normal state...so it was too much
salt ... sodium poisoning.....have to say I never linked my migraines
with aura to too much salt before....I did like my salt though....but no
more if it causes all those problems and more....and my dizziness has
gone as well....

I suffer very irregular visual disturbance migraines, maybe once per
month or two, but made more regular by stress. Blanked out areas
vision, zig-zag lines and a slightly distant feeling. It lasts maybe 20
minutes then gone, no headaches usually, ever. I have never found a
causation for it.

I also suffered dizziness for the past couple of years. When I looked
up, when I was busy carrying things back and fourth with lots of
turning around. I noted my BP suddenly falling at those times I became
dizzy. That was until a couple of months ago when they put me on a
bi-annual IV iron, with an iron promotion monthly jab.

The dizziness has almost gone and my BP is remaining much more stable
and I have more energy.

Do you have a home blood pressure machine ?

My acephalgic aura disappeared, after I got my blood pressure under control.

I was getting aura for ten minutes, back
when my pressure was 200 over 100. As soon
as I got on some meds, the aura stopped.
I haven't had an aura since.

The doctors have a variety of stupid advice:

1) "Just ignore it" said one doctor.
I love turnips, but would you like that person for a doctor ?

2) "If it continues, see a neurologist" said the other.
I award points for that answer.

At least at the hospital eye clinic, the intern ran off and
consulted a fully-fledged doctor, to get the name
of the condition right.

But BP is enough to set it off. There are probably
lots of reasons, but that was my reason.

And as for blood pressure, high BP is like that radiator
hose in your car, that bursts when it gets old. My
grandmother died from an event like that, high blood
pressure ripping apart some blood vessel and she
bled out internally. That's called "dissection",
when part of your plumbing bursts and blood goes
places it's not supposed to.

If you don't have a BP machine, see if a doctors
clinic will check it for you. Tell them your aura
symptoms so they'll take you seriously. My clinic
stopped doing BP cuffs in the COVID era, which
is why they may hesitate to measure you (means cleaning
off the cuff, lazy staff, etc).

If you're a "strict stay at home, no risks for me thanks"
person, just order a BP machine and have it delivered.
The little battery machines are relatively cheap.
I could afford one. I check BP twice a day and log
it. The drug store had three prices for them.
It's nice if you can examine the cuff in
advance, as some cuffs are better than others,
but in the COVID era, just getting the machine
is a start. The cuff plugs in via an air hose,
and if there were standards, you could get a
replacement cuff and plug in. The plug in, is
just a compression fit.

The machine uses a colour code. If it's "red", you're
not lookin good. If it's "yellow", you still need to
fix it, but you're not going to die instantly.
It's unlikely to be "green" in your case - I'm
on meds and mine is usually "yellow". When summer
comes and I get outdoors, it goes back to "green".
But stuffed in the house in winter, "yellow" is more common.

If your BP is high enough, your life expectancy
can be as short as two hours. BP can kill. My boss
at work had to hurry off to hospital, because
he was way way up there, and close to frying.

Before they can write a script for meds, you need
a blood test for kidney function. At the hospital,
when they did that test, the results came back in
ten to fifteen minutes or so, making it easy for
the doctor to write me a script and boot me out
the door. That can provide a little relief
until your regular clinic visit. I was put on a
diuretic, until I could see a doctor. And that's
why they check your kidneys aren't marginal,
as the diuretic is the first drug they reach for.

Same here.
Had a particular spate of it during summer on Sunday mornings while
reading in bed.
So I wondered if it was posture related (restricting blood flow?), or
something to do with the bright light at the window.

I used to suffer with painful migraines as a child but they gave over in
my teenage years where i'd get the aura migraines instead.
I'd lose the power of coherent speech too when I was younger, I'd get
the visual disturbance and then listen to myself talking absolute waffle.

I had a consultation, + an MRI where they discovered I'd had a minor
stroke long ago, plus a narrowed artery to one side of my face, so they
wanted my BP to not fall too low.

person, just order a BP machine and have it delivered.
The little battery machines are relatively cheap.
I could afford one. I check BP twice a day and log
it. The drug store had three prices for them.

All good advice and monitors are not expensive in the great scheme of
things. I bought one from Argos, which uses bluetooth to send its
recorded BP to my Iphone. That makes it easy to forward them on to the
medics if they ask for them, which they do quite regularly.

I don't make a point of checking it regularly, rather I check it if I
have concerns, or a change in meds, or during the week before an
appointment - because they always ask for it.

I don't do the measurement at a regular time of day, rather I take
several BP checks at random times, with a note of what I was doing at
the time. That a result of trying to collate why I was going dizzy and
my BP falling under certain circumstances.

You'd think if you overdid it on salt, there's
be some reaction.

I don't know about your doctor, but mine seem
to have a fixation on kidney function.

Yet when the blood report shows creatinine at
limit, I asked the doctor and he tells my
"you've got lots of rope left". But that
doesn't stop them from sending me on another
blood test.

High blood pressure destroys kidneys and they don't regenerate like the
liver.

There are multiple stages of kidney failure and I would expect if you
keep your blood pressure within sensible limits your kidneys will
outlive their usefulness.

Do take care.

I had consistent similar symptoms after I had eaten and got hot
following exercise.

One explanation from a consultant is that nerve sheaths lose their
insulation with temperature and so short to their neighbours. I have no
idea if this is actually true and only heard this from one source,
albeit a seemingly respectable one.

I can be dizzy but only after being sedantry for a while and then doing
something like running up some stairs.

If you think those are bad: My wife started suffering dizzy spells and
thinking that things in her peripheral vision were coming at her.

She couldn't drive becaus eof it, couldn't travel on public transport
and couldn't take a taxi or get a lift (she could with me, because I was
ready for and to ignore the screams that something was about to hit us
as we passed sideroads!) A bit of a problem for a community nurse!

She was bounced from consultant to consultant, with numerous tests and
eventually, after two years, got a diagnosis and was prescribed
anti-convulsion tablets, that pretty well returned her to normal.

However, we still have a letter from one of the consultants (at about
the 18 month mark), following up two appointments she'd had with him and
confirming his recommendation ... that although he didn't know the
cause, he could take the symptoms away by blinding her, permanently, in
her left eye!

Aortic aneurysm. Can be repaired if caught early enough.
A dissecting aneurysm is where the inner lining of the

As you age your blood vessels become less elastic so

again ! ...

Fredxx formulated the question :

I did always suffer with that, I think it's quite normal - your body
needs time to prepare for action, from a relaxed state.

This dizziness was quite different, though the same feeling of about to
pass out - looking up at shelves at home or in shops, wondering round
the isles in stores etc. all would triggering and then I would need to
lean on something, or sit until it passed.

The section on Hypertension here, has quite a few names for the conditions.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Hypertension

Thus one covers postural hypertension, where your body doesn't
automatically adjust for your upright position properly.

It means your doctor has to be a whiz at memorizing trivia.

No they dont. That would require an ultrasound scan at the very least and
theres no routine testing for this in my area. It might be offered in

No, I was referring to, as a teenager, one of my friends
chugging a pint of vodka. We tried to tell him how stoopid
this was, but at the time, we also didn't know there was
such a thing as alcohol poisoning. If he'd tried that
with a bigger bottle, there's a good chance
he'd have been dead. That's because we carried
him home and put him in bed. To sleep it off.

There was no need to do the experiment... particularly.
It wasn't even a social drinking event, as nobody
else had had a drop of it. He just decided it would
be cool to chug a bottle.

But that's science for you.

I certainly had one here. Just got a letter, attended, had the scan,

Off to doctor to see what's not in balance.

Here, a hospital blood test can get results faster
than a clinic-inspired blood test. With the clinic,
the round trip cycle time is three weeks, which is
too long when you're really sick. On the negative
side, the wait at the hospital can be forever.
Four to eight hours at my local (ten minutes walk from
the house). Since seasonal flu is not at the usual
winter levels, there will be fewer seats with bums
on them at the moment at hospital.

On the plus side (I checked a while back), my clinic
is mostly empty. Empty of patients, empty of doctors.
Very little work going on. I got prescriptions there.

Same here.

Same here, had them since I was a kid. Quite mild just a sightly fuzzy
bit, can't focus properly, makes reading hard, lasts 25 minutes. I get
them a few times a year. Last year I had three in a few hours. It used
to freak me out, I thought I was having a stroke.

Asked a doctor, he looked bored, told me to see optician.

Asked optician, he wanted me to get bifocals.

Asked Google, described my symptoms perfectly, even with a picture.

Mentioned it to family and friends and they said "me too".

Why couldn't the doctor have told me what it was, given it seems to be
very common.

You are, I suspect, joking! Neither I nor partner has been offered any sort of checkup. No well man. No well woman. Partner hasn't seen a doctor for over ten years despite having at least two health issues. I have seen doctors but no general checkup - only specific for issues. This time has covered ages 60 to 65 for both of us. And moving to a new GP surgery.
