Suggest Treatment For Frequent Headaches And Blurred Vision

My wife is 57yrs old and suffers from frequent / sudden onset headaches that nearly cause her to faint. She sees diamond shaped dots visually and then after 15-20 seconds, the pain subsides and she can walk gingerly again. As long as she stays upright / standing, she is pretty good after that. She is about 30-40lbs over weight (by her thoughts) but exercises daily...had been swimming daily till cold weather. Now running a couple of miles per day or doing a 12 minute surge strength and cardio combined workout. BP averages below 120 / 70 and is generally good health. Non smoker, non drinker. Carb addict but tries to eat healthy and drinks coffee in the morning and then water the rest of the day with a little tea for supper and chamomille tea for bed time. Suggestions?

Hello
Welcome to Health care Magic.

I reviewed your history.
These symptoms indicate primary headaches like migraine.
This requires treatment by the use of anti-migraine drugs and prophylactic drugs to prevent recurrent attacks of migraine.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
