Pressure behind left eye

Hi guys,

I have been suffering various symptoms for over a year. This includes the feeling of pressure behind my left eye. I also experience flashing in both my eyes. The only way I can describe this is when you accidentily look into a bright light causing you to see a flash in your vision which then stops after about 20 seconds. This occurs regularly and changes eye randomly.

Throughout this period of time, I have experienced a number of migraines with the visual distortion (aura). I had a lot of these in my teens and early twenties but went for many years without having one until now.

Added go this, I have pins and needles in my hands and feet which comes and goes.

I have seen a chiropractor who believes I have serious damage to the nerves in my neck. I have had six months treatment but the symptoms persist.

Just wondered whether anyone knows what could be going on with me.

Many thanks in advance for any help.
