Blurry Vision Not Just Glasses: 46-Year-Old's Migraine Misdiagnosis

  • Sanjay, a 46-year-old Delhi businessman, experienced 18 months of blurred vision and headaches, initially dismissing them as weak eyesight.
  • Despite new glasses and the 20-20-20 rule, discomfort persisted, with blurred vision and one-sided throbbing pain escalating.
  • Symptoms included zigzag patterns, shimmering lines, and temporary vision dimming, followed by severe headaches and nausea.
  • A neurologist diagnosed migraine with aura after an MRI and blood tests ruled out other conditions, revealing his symptoms were prodrome and aura phases.
  • Lifestyle changes like sleep schedule, yoga, reduced screen glare, and hydration, along with medication, significantly reduced his migraine attacks.

Why It Matters: Persistent blurred vision and headaches can mask serious neurological conditions like migraine, requiring specialist consultation.
