  "map_content": "For the past almost 7 years I've been experiencing what science calls \"Ocular migraines\". Suddenly and without any particular or consistent prior activity, I get these triangular sharp geometric patterns, shimmering colors in my peripheral view. The illustration is more dramatic than how I experience it but it is always colors and geometric patters in a partial triangular, sometimes one side or the other sometimes both. If I close my eyes the patterns persist. It can last 5 to 30 minutes. It doesn't hurt. \r\nAt first it was disturbing (i was like, WTF??) and then I just got used to it, studied it, and now find it fascinating. I'll prompt the AI to tell us more about it, but basically it comes from the brain and not from visual perception.",

I get an ocular migraine first no pain but there is a tear in the bottom left quadrant of my vision... like there is a spot that I can't see anything in, and then get a painful headache about 30 mins after. hard exercise often sets it off. not fun",

  "map_content": "Advil is pretty effective for me... I'm pretty lucky that I don't have to take harder drugs like some people, and the ocular migraine actually acts as a warning for me to take it so that I can often short-circuit the pain. But the vision effects are def disconcerting... yours sound cooler than mine lol",

  "map_content": "I get ocular migraines too but only very occasionally thankfully, and so far (touch wood) without pain. Just like staring into a bulb after-burn image for 15-20 mins. I did used to have intracranial hypertension and headaches that lasted for weeks and months at a time, which made life absolutely miserable. I used to have to take high dose steroids to get rid of them. For me, it was estrogen dominance (and inefficient respiration) gone badly too far. \r\n@metamitya Just curious, is it breathless exercise that sets them off, or could it happen after non-breathless exercise, such as weight lifting? If only after breathless exercise it could be low oxygenation of the brain leading to low brain energy due to excess lactic acid/low CO2, due to the more primitive and inefficient glycolytic shift (2 ATP of energy from glycolysis vs 28 ATP of energy from oxidative phosphorylation) vs the usual efficient oxidative form of respiration when not out of breath. The CO2 (produced by oxidative phosphorylation) is needed to release the oxygen molecule from red blood cells and deliver it into the tissues (Bohr effect). When we stay in the lactic zone too long (producing lactate instead of CO2), we get muscle cramps due to low oxygen, which means muscle cells don\u2019t have enough energy to return to their soft resting state, so they tighten up. So a migraine headache could be a sort of brain cramp in that case, a side effect of being out of breath longer than your body can tolerate.",
