Hello,
Thank you for posting your query at DoctorSpring.com
I have noted your symptoms and agree with you that these are suggestive of MIGRAINE with Visual Aura.
You may benefit from taking preventive migraine medications such as beta blockers or topiramate.
As you have mentioned, positive family history and occurrence of symptoms during periods also suggest that these are migraine episodes.
I hope it helps.
Best wishes,

Thank you, So you are fimiliar with these types of Migraines? Do you hear cases that sound like mine? If I don't want to take the medications because of their side effects what would you recommend doing?
Thank you for getting back.
Yes, I routinely see patients with this type of migraine.
If the symptoms are mild and does not affect you, you can wait and watch. Otherwise, I would recommend preventive medications to reduce the frequency and severity of these episodes.
Also, certain precautions such as ensuring good sleep at nights, taking meals on time, avoiding stress, etc, would also help you.
