was my first big aura like this? i was at work, teaching, and suddenly i saw these little shimmering lights or something. it started so slow, kinda fuzzy on one side of my vision. i honestly panicked.
i remembered reading about strokes and immediately got super paranoid, thinking i was having a vascular thing. the prodrome part is usually weird, but this felt physical - like the whole world was buzzing with static for like thirty minutes. it took me calling a friend to realize it wasn’t ‘the end’ or anything medically scary. i guess learning my body gives you some insane levels of anxiety mixed in.
i’m trying to track these specific visual symptoms now, but when the fear is that high, how do other people even start separating stroke signs from an aura? has anyone noticed a pattern change after their first time?
