Visual Migraines

Visual migraines can come in there different ways and also have different causes. The first type of visual migraines are brought about by stress and overworking the body. The person having such a visual migraine will feel tired and drowsy and may even vomit. The visual disturbances are often accompanied by the headaches. The person cannot see clearly vision will be blurred it will be like trying to look into a dark room with objects that seem to be blurred. This visual disturbance can last up to as much as half an hour and then normal vision is restored.

The second type of visual migraines comes in the form of streaks of different colors that move in a wave like fashion. The person sees somewhat distorted images of the things around them. This kind of visual migraine can be caused by looking at the computer screen for a long period of time. A headache can follow this type of visual migraine, this headache can be felt from one side of the head.

The third type of visual migraines comes in the form of zigzag lights and colors. The person can still see images around them clearly but the sparks and flashes seem to be placed on top of the images such that they sort of twinkle in front of the true image. These visual migraines do not last for a very long time and they are not followed by a headache.

It is very important that when you experience any visual migraines you consult your doctor. Consulting a doctor is very important for there are many factors that can cause migraines. One of the factors that can lead to migraines are hormonal imbalances. Under severe stress the brain releases certain hormones at abnormal levels the body thus fails to properly regulate such hormones thus these hormones will cause some body dysfunctions which are then expressed in the form of headaches and visual disturbances.

Since the endocrine system is linked to migraines can thus be inherited. The endocrine system is controlled by the brain, the brain constitutes genetic material that is inherited from parental gametes. So thus if in either one of your parents families there was a person who once suffered from migraines there is a high chance that the offspring from this family line will inherit the disease from their ancestors.
