Hi angela,

 

It is very important that our doctors know every symptom we have, even if we don't think it is important. We can think of them as clues....so please share this information with your doctor.

 

About 25% of Migraineurs experience aura, or the second phase of a Migraine attack. People who have Migraine with aura can experience visual things like flashing lights, wavy lines and more. For more information on the four phases of a Migraine attack continue reading;  Anatomy of a Migraine.

 

Seeing "blue" may or may not be an aura symptom. Your doctor can help you determine if it is or not.

 

Good luck

Nancy
