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.
It’s not related to the eye. I’ve been getting this since I was around 20, and I’m nearly 60 now.
I believe sodium nitrate and sodium nitrite, which are preservatives found in fast foods and cold cuts can cause the blood vessels in the brain to temporarily constrict. Taking aspirin everyday can prevent this. Or taking either aspirin or any other NSAID as soon as the event begins will stop it right away.

No MRI as what I go through is classic and fortunately for me no pain, just annoying and relatively short lived. If the frequency continues as it is I will seek more attention.
As far as I know it is the classic aura associated with migraines without pain. A C-shaped expanding shimmer lasting in my case 29-25 minutes. Had them now for about 10 years, lately more frequent (12 in the past 7 months) but I have been actively trying to lose weight and exercising a bit more.

Very frustating having to guess at triggers. Early this Spring, I had it happen two days in a row (a first) and could only figure it was changes in air pressure.
I guess it will be individually specific triggers but I think that out there somewhere is someone who has a trick to at least help us avoid the aura or maybe cut them off or shorten their duration. I am lucky that there’s no pain associated but they are still annoying and when more frequent a bit worrisome too. Thanks for the reply

I have had MRI and scans, I also have AVM. I have been trying to find treatment for without surgery.
I should add that I’m not a doctor. This is just my personal experience.
Thanks. I’ll use this info
