Help with Staring Spells and Eye Pain

I need serious help. or tips. I've been having staring spells. my primary doctor says it's migraines nd has me seeing a neurologist in a few months. but I don't believe there migraines because I don't have a headache when the staring spells happen. I have eye pain from my eyes rolling back nd looking up at lights nd the ceiling constantly when it happens. my doctor believes me thank God. but I jus don't think these are migraines at all. I've had a CT scan done nothing came back but Sinus problems. I jus miserable. these happen at least 4 times a week too. only thing that helps is staying in a very dark room.

There are different types of migraines. It could be a “silent migraine”, which is where you have the other symptoms of a migraine, but no head pain. I seriously recommend going to a neurologist. A neurologist isn’t for only migraines, they treat so many different things.

I had no idea silent migraines were a thing. I have a neurologist appointment in May.

I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this. If it helps to know, migraines don’t always necessarily have head pain; I get migraines without head pain too, and that was actually part of what made them take so long to figure out what was happening. But you could also ask for a referral to a different neurologist for a second opinion too!
