Hello Doctor,
I’ve been experiencing a headache for the past few hours, and now my vision is blurry. I'm not sure if the two are related. Should I be concerned? What could be causing this, and what should I do next?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
Two possibilities come to mind when considering headaches with blurred vision:
1. Migraine with Visual Aura: This type of migraine can cause visual disturbances such as blurry vision, often followed by a headache. The visual symptoms typically resolve once the migraine attack subsides.
2. Raised Intracranial Pressure (ICP) with Papilledema: This is a more serious condition where increased pressure inside the skull can cause symptoms like headache, blurry vision, and swelling of the optic nerve (papilledema).
Thanks
