Neurology: I am a 64 year old male who has suffered from migraine with aura since age 13. Typically attacks occurred at a frequency of 3 or 4 times per year. Later in life 45 to 55 they occurred only infrequently. At 60 they occurred again 3 or 4 times a year but with no or minor headache just aura. The aura typically last 30 minutes and start with a blind spot that progressively expands from center to left, shimmering sparkling lights in a side wise "u" pattern. No weakness, drooping muscles or other sensory symptoms, some sensitivity to light afterwards.

Three weeks ago I underwent a cardiac ablation for pvc, svt and non sustained vt. The ablation was without complication at a major university hospital. Since the ablation, starting the night of, I have suffered from more frequent silent auras, probably 10 occasions over the 3 week period. The cardiologist does not think the aura/migraines are related to the ablation procedure. The frequency of the aura is upsetting although I don't seem to have any stroke like symptoms i.e. speech, paralysis etc. that would indicate a TIA or stroke. However, I am worried about this increase in activity.

I am trying to get an appointment to see a neurologist here but the soonest I can get in anywhere here is September 25th. That's a long time to worry about the situation and at what point is this critical enough to warrant a trip to the emergency room. I am not diabetic, do not have any significant heart disease or other major illnesses. I have ben put on xarelto for 1 month as a prophylaxis for a DVT of the right leg suffered several years old patientago. I have also been prescribed atenolol 25 mg daily to help with the potential pvc cardiac issue. I take no other medicines except Tylenol.

I am at my wits end with worry about all of this and have trouble functioning normally and going about my business. Seems like I am always worrying about when the next attack will come. Any advice or professional comment appreciated. I can add that 1 year ago an MRI of the brain was done with no abnormalities reported. The test was done due to a few attacks of vertigo that occurred without reason.
