Hi everyone.

TLDR; new vision symptoms that I'm worried are from a brain cyst (potentially but unlikely a tumor) spotted in an MRI 4 years ago, looking for reassurance.

So, I got a migraine today. My only symptoms used to be mild pain but severe brain fog. That was when I had daily migraines. After medication, I get them maybe once a month. However, the last three, I've had new symptoms: blurry vision on the side of the pain, double vision, and darkened peripheral vision.

I'm wondering if anyone else gets any/all of these symptoms because I'm working myself into a panic over them. Back in 2019, I had an MRI and they found a brain cyst, but they couldn't tell if it was actually a cyst or a tumor. I couldn't afford the follow-up MRI a year later so I never got one. I'm just worried that a) the cyst is actually a tumor that got bigger, or b) the cyst got bigger and now it's pressing on my brain.

And I've already scheduled an appt with a new PCP, since my last one didn't take my severe periods seriously (turns out I have endometriosis so I really don't trust that PCP). Hopefully they refer me to a neurologist so I can get an MRI done, but I'm hoping someone can reassure me about these symptoms so I'm not panicking while going through the waiting, referral, and waiting again process.

Sorry for the long post.

Migraines, which have an effect on children and teens as nicely as adults, can development via 4 stages: prodrome, aura, attack and post-drome. Not everyone who has migraines goes through all stages.
