Have you had MRIs and Scans of your brain? I get auras sometimes 2x week, but I already have the migraine that is persistent now for 6 years every day/all day.
I experienced it twice or three times and while it is not absolutely awful it’s very annoying.. I don’t know what caused them and haven’t had one for a while 🤞 my GP sent me for a brain scan and thankfully it didn’t show anything, sorry I can’t be more helpful

Yeah, I hear you. This has always been a mystery to me. I can only share my own 40 years of experience. That’s all.
Back in the early 2000s I used to take a high mg aspirin daily as a precautionary measure (to avoid having one). I later learned that wasn’t very wise because of how NSAIDs can cause internal bleeding.
Now I take an NSAID as soon as symptoms begin.
For me I probably experience one of these maybe once every 45 to 60 days.

The triggers are a mystery. Mine lately have been more frequent due to stress from my diet, increased exercise and current stress. I have no forewarning and just suddenly have a tiny blind spot in my center field of vision. It is eventually c-shaped (can be right or left facing) and slowly expands until it exits my field of vision, about 20 minutes later, no pain. Thanks for reply

Exactly my aura experience...Same visual ,same approximate time frame. I've learned from my research that this phenomenon is called Corticol Spreading Depression (or Depolarization).You may want to Google it-kinda fascinating.

This is great info. I have done, as we all have, a lot of reading about our condition but somehow I never came across this info. THANK YOU!!! I will be looking into this and if I have any ideas based on my own situation I’ll pass it along here.

I have had ocular migraines for decades. Sometimes I get a headache, but usually not. It lasts about 30 minutes. Had MRIs and all the other tests which showed nothing.
I think they are brought on by stress or too much light.
I had one a few days ago as I was sitting in chair at dentist receiving bad news. I was facing out a window and the sunlight was so bright I had to wear
sunglasses. Ocular
migraine.

I live in the tropics and spend at least 2-3 hours a day out in the sun but wear sunglasses. But I installed a new light in our stair area last week and it was pretty bright. That evening I had an aura. I too considered light might be at least one of my triggers. Thanks and keep in touch
