Has anyone experienced multi-colored visual snow followed by a strong energy-like pulse in and around the brain and vertigo?
Yes, MyMigraineTeam members have reported similar experiences with colorful visual disturbances and intense sensations during migraine attacks.
One member described experiencing "black-and-white pictures, but some areas were filled with a single color" during a migraine, with bright pink and blue colors that hurt their eyes. These weren't typical auras but distinct visual phenomena.
Visual disturbances during migraine can include:
* Flashing lights
* Colorful patterns or kaleidoscope effects
* Visual snow or static-like effects
* Blind spots or dark spots
* Bright, shimmering spots
The energy-like pulse sensation you're describing could be related to the electrical or chemical wave activity that occurs in the brain during migraine auras. Some members report feeling intense, wave-like sensations during attacks.
Regarding vertigo, this can occur as part of a brainstem aura, which may include:
* Dizziness or feeling like the room is spinning
* Loss of balance
* Ringing in the ears
* Double vision
One member mentioned experiencing amplified hearing and going blind for 10-15 seconds during their aura phase, showing how intense and varied these sensations can be.
If these symptoms are new or particularly intense, it's important to consult with a healthcare provider to rule out other conditions and ensure proper diagnosis.
