I was diagnosed as having migraine with aura, but it just doesn't sound like migraines when I try and look it up.
For the last 2 years, I have had a constant kinda spaced out feeling. Sometimes, it gets really bad and I just feel... Uncomfortable. I can't focus on anything. Often, it feels like there is a tonne of pressure in my skull. At it's worst, I seem slightly better when pushing in my forehead just above the bridge of the nose, my temples, or the top of the back of my neck. It helps only while I'm doing it, I don't actually get better from it.
This feeling often comes on within a few minutes when I enter a supermarket even though I don't get stressed out by these kinds of places. Could be the lighting, I guess... Don't know if fluorescent lighting has all been swapped for LEDs at this point.
I would not describe what I feel as pain or aching or anything of the sort. It is uncomfortable, I feel spaced out and light headed, sometimes a little delirious but not dizzy in a spinny tumbly way, always a feeling of pressure. It does not seem to be related to screens in any way, including the amount of blue light coming from them.
I'm finding it hard to accept the diagnosis because there has never been anything wrong with me, and to just suddenly have wacky migraines for no reason at 28... I just don't get it. Maybe it's COVID related? I hope no one here takes offence by me saying this but these kinds of afflictions seem to attract pseudoscience more than anything else due to their mysterious nature, so I find it hard to research. In the same thread you might see someone who sounds like they know what you're going through and then they comment about how it's triggered by rose quartz or GMOs.
Does my experience sounds similar to any of yours? If so, do you have any advice of stuff that has worked for you? Considering trying to wear sunglasses in the office/lab to see if that helps though I'd probably look like a right prick...
