small intermittent annoyance with eyesight
Hi
I wonder if anybody knows about this problem - once in a blue moon or so, I get strange swimmy lines in my vision - hard to describe, a kind of shimmering line of light in various places in my vision, and also at the main focal point of where I�m looking at any moment. It lasts an hour or two (or less), and then disappears.
It doesn�t happen very often, (once every few months) and isn�t enough to warrant a doctor�s trip. It�s usually followed by a mild or sometimes nasty headache.
I had a it once or twice at school, (when i was about 10 or 11) and this was followed then by migraine-type headaches. Nothing for about 20 years and now I�ve had it maybe 3 or 4 times over a year.
Not much to go on. Any ideas? Thanks (probable hypochondriac)
