Waiting for OB to call back **Update**

I'm seeing really bright big spots in my eyes. My head kinda hurts but it's so far not a migraine. Anyone have this before? I'm a bit scared. Ugh and I can't get ahold of my hubby!

I had a REALLY bad migraine. When I got there my head was pounding! I was so scared it was Hypertension. My BP was a bit high but not bad. They gave me a shot of meds. And I feel a bit better. So home to sleep and also have more meds. Thanks for everyone's words! Oh and baby is great :) Moving like crazy.

Do you have High blood pressure? They told me to look for the spots when my pressure spiked. Not sure if that's your deal but I didn't end up seeing the spots.

My doctor said a few things:

1. It can be from high blood pressure.
2. If you are seeing spots, you need to take big deep breaths and eat something. She said it can be from lack of oxygen (from not breathing as deep from all organs pushed up) and/or low blood sugar. Also, to drink some water.

Are they staying around or just had it for a few seconds. Also, when that happens remain calm because you can get your blood pressure up from anxiety!

Hope it is nothing!

I actually just had this happen to me the other day. I am 20 weeks and I was sittting at work and all of a sudden I started seeing spots and I felt like I was losing vision in my left eye. My OB said to go to the er and they diagnosed me with occular migraines. I think it was my blood pressure and a little bit of hypoglycemia but its very annoying and scary. I jus****ch to make sure I am not getting hungry or feel weird. I hope you feel better!!!!

Glad everything is ok with little one and they gave you meds to make your head feel better!

so glad that everything is OK!
I always get those "halos" before I get a migraine, I also get them when my blood sugar or blood pressure are too LOW. Make sure you are drinking plenty - that's one of the top reasons I get migraines.

Thanks Liz! This was a first for me. I get migraines but they weren't like this. I have been doing really well on my water intake. Not sure what caused it! Thanks for the response! Sounds like Amelia is doing SO well! She is precious!!
