Weird Covid Symptom: peripheral flashes of light

@ jwatzig- Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. That would be weird even if you didn't have Covid. If you have had an extended or long covid then light sensitivity can be a symptom. And of course, this can be very scary. I get strange light sensations when I have a migraine.
First, please let me ask if you have any underlying conditions such as eye problems or nerve problems? Did you have a headache with these sensations? Were you sleeping and had these?

JW I had the same thing. The flash of light on the perifery was white in color and would happen day or night. I had a headache that was on the outside of my brain 24/7. The flashes are gone along with the headache. Not sure what drug I"m taking did it (fluvoxamine along with low dose naltrexone among others). But I still suffer with brain fog and fatigue.

Hi, thanks for responding.
Bad headache is constant, no eye issues. Have some nerve pain in the back of the head from an accident 6 years ago. I am getting this both in the day and when trying to sleep.
Not sleeping well.
