Hi Katy,
I just linked your other question back here. Thank you for the additional information. Since you may possibly have a diagnosis of MS, migraines (headaches) are commonly associated with a diagnosis of MS. Please read this article http://www.webmd.com/migraines-headaches/news/20100216/migraines-in-women-may-have-link-to-ms.

I would certainly bring your new symptoms up to your doctor. I hope this information helps.

Thank you for the feedback but migraines should'nt occur for brief periods after position change should they? I will bring it up with next visit to MD. Thankyou for the website info.

Hi Anonymous,
Have you ever had previous experiences with migraines? How long has this been occurring? Have you been to a doctor? Do you wear glasses/contacts? If not, when is the last time that you had your eyes checked?

Thanks for the additional information so we may be able to better assist you.

No, I don't need to be anonymous. I tried getting back in with my name and password but, no luck. I am 62 yof smoker with hsitory of CLL and high cholesterol, las test showed LDL of 104, it is getting better. I am also being evaluated for MS. This problem has been ongoing for 6+ mos. It took awhile to realize that it happens with position changes. I do have hx of migraines but none in probably 15 yrs or more. I just wondered if it could be related to an aneurism or atherosclerosis. Most troublesome. What should I ask my MD? Thanks, Katy C.
