Really spiraling bad. Stroke/Migrane issues

[BrokenArrow]

On Tuesday I had a silent migraine. The zig-zag lines, the tingling in one of my hands, and just a general feeling of ick. My last one before that was about 2 months ago. I am just spiraling bad. I am horrified by lights because I feel like they are going to trigger one. I wear dark sunglasses basically all the time now. Every single thing I see out of the corner of my eye I am convinced is the store of one. I have been googling stroke symptoms non-stop and keep checking myself for them. I feel weak and dizzy and all my muscles are tighter than hell. I can't stop. I keep reading how migraines make your stroke risk higher and it's making me horrified. Eye floaters scare me. I just can't calm down. The only time it's even a little better is at night when there aren't so many glares and sun lights and I can have my eyes adjust and I feel a little better but basically, all day is pure hell. Please help me, I'm getting really bad. To the point, I don't even want to leave my house or look outside.

Honestly it not something I know anything about. Hence no reply from me. Had a few friends who always suffered from Migranes. I saw how bad they were when they were having one. Nearly always needing to close the curtain and rest. They are all very healthy people today. Not sure if their headaches are still as bad. I would assume they are for life? You either have them or you don't. But also having anxiety can make things even worse. Having a bad day with the headaches and you feel other pains. Thinking one is leading to the other. At most I could suggest regular check-ups. Just make sure everything else is in order. Sorry I can't be of any more help to you on this topic.

How have you been? I’m sorry I diddnt see this post , or I would have Replied right away, I suffer like this too, I can obsess over floaters and lights etc, like crazy. I have had a lot of tests and always seems to be in my head. How have you been ? Ask me anything I will try to share my experiences

I used to get ocular migraines when I was younger. The first time was in my 20s and I thought I was having a stroke too and tried to drive myself to the ER but I couldn't see well enough to drive. Then after another one my doctor told me what it was so it took away my fear of them. I never got a headache just the weird vision. They are fairly common and nothing to worry about. Mine usually started with a small weird spot in my vision and then grew to where it was hard to see for a bit and within 20 minutes they would be completely gone. Really, they are benign so try not to stress too much over them.
