Why I Am Getting Flashed In Eyes?

I sometimes get light headed and my tongue and lips get numb. I also at other times see flashes in my eye. Usually my left eye but sometimes my right. This usually lasts only 15 minutes or so, sometimes longer. I also get nauseated when it happens. What can this be?

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having flashes of light associated with headache, lightheadedness, numbness and nausea.
These symptoms indicate primary headaches like migraine.
The treatment is by use of drugs like flunarizine.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
