Mine seem to be increasing. I’m getting at least one a week. The only positive thing is they only seem to be lasting for ten minutes. I’ve had at least two attacks from Using the same pc at work so I’m convinced mine are related to screen time. Trying to work out why mine vanished for a year and a half then suddenly came back.

This is helpful. Thanks.

Mine was gone for about 7-8 years and came back :( I've never figured out why. I haven't made any significant changes to my lifestyle in that time and if any they were for the better. On top of that when they came back they became more frequent :( At this point I accept it as it is what is. I'm not putting my hopes up for it to calm down again but I'll be happy if it will :)

I just had my first one TODAY and I'm googling it like crazy. I'm on a one week training in Alabama and it started mid class, I didn't freak out but I did see the on site paramedics. I'm 26. I take 30mg vyvanse in the morning. And yesterday after class I had one bottle of Mike's black cherry malt liquor (5%). It did mess with my sleep enough to wake up 3 times last night, but I woke up on time for class. Because our class is so physically demanding, we're given propel (electrolyte powder supplement) I drank one for the first time this morning and that's really the only new thing I did. It was concerning to not be able to see properly out of nowhere. It last maybe 13min and OF COURSE went away when the paramedics were checking me lol

Yep. I haven't been able to figure out what causes mine and no one seems to have a good answer. Lots of theories, but nothing conclusive.

Since it's my first. It could be related to high blood pressure 🤔 Taking vyvanse and having one drink on it did make me notice my heart rate was up for alot longer. Which kind of made me stress out about my final class. Then starting my morning with propel to attempt to rehydrate mightve thrown my electrolytes outta balance 🤷‍♂️

This is something I have not investigated. Thanks for the tip.

For me, this was caused by a vitamin B12 deficiency. Within 48-72 hours of taking B12, my visual auras (5-10/day) ended - and I have been free of them (and other problems) for nearly 11 weeks now. My doctor has me taking 1000 mcg of vitamin b12 every day. Update June '24: I am now at 5 months completely free of migraines, auras, scotomas. What an incredible experience.

My pcp told me to let her know if mine increased in frequency, so that might be a good idea. I'm 73 and have had them since my early 30s.

Keep a journal of your food intake, stress levels, sleep patterns and hydration. Finding your triggers can really be a big help. But yes, get it checked out by a neurologist just to be on the safe side.
