Just after 22 days of getting the shot, after feeling high hunger, abrupt high BP damaged left eye central retina part macula giving cloudy vision in the center.

Ocular migraine

Hi <inline-mention username="Kishore lal raina" user-id="4147408"/>, Thank you for sharing your story with us. I'm sorry you are having a rough time with migraine. Migraine with aura (often called ocular migraine) won't be "cured" with shot, as there is not cure for it right now. I'm not sure if there are other issues going on with your eyes that may indicated the need for this. I hope this finds you well, Nancy Harris Bonk, Patient Advocate/Moderator

I'm so sorry you have experienced these problems. I assume you are talking about the Covid-19 vaccine. I, too, have had some problems with my BP since I got vaccinated. My medication has always kept my BP under control but since getting vaccinated, I have had to change medications twice. My BP has been all over the place. I'm hoping this is a temporary issue and it will resolve itself very soon. I'm anxious to know if others have experienced anything like this. Since I've had intractable migraines nearly my entire life (7-64), I was hesitant to get vaccinated. Fortunately, the vaccine didn't trigger any migraine problems so I am grateful for that. Good luck with your vision situation. I hope everything goes well for you.

Have you talked to your doctor about this? I'm assuming you have as you've changed medications recently but if not, we'd certainly encourage that you do so.
