    Agreed. Go to the doctor. Those symptoms sound serious.

    Yes, please contact a doctor. If you can, call the Advice Nurse to see what they have to say.

    Yup, time to see the doctor. Not something to mess around with.

    See a doctor immediately. Could be a stroke. Time is of the essence.

    I get occular migraines and that sounds like my symptoms - however as you know, it can be anything!!!

    Nothing to screw around with. You should have actually had someone take you to the ER.

    sounds like a Generalized anxiety disorder, and Panic attack. Go see a doctor.

    It is a migraine headache. I get them somewhat often. Sometimes depending on what I have eaten can trigger them. The only thing I have found to get rid of the headache is to take something immediately when the blurred tunnel vision starts. If I dont take some migraine medicine soon enough the only thing that seems to sooth it is a cool towel on my neck and lay in a dark room until I fall asleep. It would probably not be a bad idea to see a doc though. The first time I had it happen I went to ER because the numbness scared me. They said that was what it was. Sometimes they are worse than others. Hope this helps.

    Thank you. I think i may still go to the doctor tomorrow because i have hospital insurance and maybe they will give me something for if it happens again. I was absolutely terrified so i am glad to know i am not alone. :)
