I had an ophthalmic migraine today and it worries me, I've had them before and I wonder if it's dangerous?

Question

Good evening. What should I do if I have an ophthalmic migraine? Hello, I had flashes in one eye for a few minutes and then when it went away I had a bit of a headache... no treatment in the past and nothing tried. At the moment I am taking citalopram 20mg. I've had this before and was wondering if I should seek help or see if it comes back... thanks for your advice! Happy Holidays

Hello ma'am, could you describe your symptoms exactly, and when you started experiencing them? In the past, have you received treatment for this? Have you tried anything for this today? Are you currently taking any other medications? Thank you for your time! Thank you for the information. If these symptoms are mild and temporary and if your general condition remains good, taking an anti-inflammatory medication such as ibuprofen or naproxen can help with a migraine. It is important to check with your pharmacist to see if this type of product is safe for you. Sincerely, Tom Samaha, pharmacist
