Vision after standing up

Posted , 3 users are following.

I posted this before, but didn't get much of a reply. Two years ago, I started seeing stars when I would bend down and stand up. Soon after, I had my first migraine aura. I was symptom free until the last three months. I have had several instances of seeing stars after standing up. I recently had bloodwork done and all was normal. I haven't had my BP taken in a year and a half. It's always high at the doctors ever since the migraine aura landed me in the ER. Every time I had my BP taken in the 43 years prior, it was normal. I have since developed a fear of getting my BP taken which causes anxiety. I know it's irrational, but I can't help it. Anyone with a similar problem?

      I never was never to get BP taken in 43 years and it was always normal. Once I had that migraine aura and panicked, that was it. I became afraid of taking it and it's always high at doctor. Have you ever seen stars?
