Should I See A Neurologist If I Have Issues With Retinal Migraine?
I have been suffering from retinal migraines since I was a kid and a few years ago I began experiencing stroke-like symptoms along with the retinal migraine. I'm a 21 year old female, pretty healthy. Have had issue with my Thyroid in the past but am not on medication currently. Should I see a neurologist?

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having retinal migraines since childhood.
These retinal migraines can be prevented by using prophylactic drugs.
The commonly used prophylactic drugs are flunarizine or beta blockers like propranolol.
Hence you need to consult your physician or neurologist for examination and treatment accordingly by prophylactic drugs.
Thank you
