auras without the headache

I have a similar problem..aura with no headaches. I haven't been experiencing them in that quantity. Only about 10 times in my whole life...(starting about 5 years ago). They always seem to occur right after times of stress. I get dizzy, and can't really tell what's going on.

I'm going to a neurologist in a couple weeks. I'll let you know what he says.

I hope you've been able to pinpoint the cause of your problems. I read somewhere that allergies can trigger these types of things. Also that sometimes people with migraines start getting what you have....do either of your parents/aunts/uncles/bro/sis get migraines?

There is so much info on the web...just google "auras without headache", that's how I came to your post!

Please check out those links...the second one is to a forum where someone experienced something similar to you!

Good luck

Hi! Ive had the same. Now I do suffer both sorts, with pain, and without.
This might interest you. The last time that I had a migrane, no pain, with aura (for me it is like a prism, in a crescent shape, starting with one eye, then the other. I have to take 2 paracetamol and cool down, was when I came out of recovery from an emergency c-section in september. Iwas fine after the procedure for 1hour, then when I was being wheeled to my room, it started when I got too hot. It could have been stress induced???
Wierd though. What I was told, is that it is like a mini-stroke. The blood is constricted and migrane drugs usually relieve this....what do you think?
Good luck to you all!
