Question
hi sir, im 33 male, recently on 2 occasions .. i would get very blurry eyes, see burry white lines in both eyes followed by a headache that would subside but come back only when i cough.. the episodes are 2 to 3 weeks apart. my doc thought this was migranes. my question is can this be something more serious . I had a brain mri sept 2007 everything was clear . my question is how long is a clear brain mri good for .. should i worry now about a tumor or aneyrusum ?? is my clear brain mri in 2007 mean im ok and this truly is a headache.. should i seek further treatment with a neurologist maybe. any suggestions would be appreciated , im not looking for a diagnosis online just your thoughts thanks mainly how long is a clean brain mri good for before i need a new one to be preformed ?

Answer
Without an examination it is impossible to answer. So let a neurologist check you! A new MRI is probably necessary too. Good luck!

I have some computer problems so unfortunately my reply is delayed.
