I have had these symptoms for the last 25 years (65 now). On average, I have 3 attacks over 2 days, every other month. There appears to be no recognisable trigger, and it has occurred during sleep. The shimmering starts as a small area in the centre of vision and moves to the periphery of the eye. It can be ‘C’ shaped or reverse ‘C’ shape. Afterwards I can experience a headache for a couple of days – but only if I cough!

The symptoms above are exactly what I am experiencing.
My concern is that the symptoms seem to be increasing in frequency over time. I have begun to chart the events to see if there is any correlation. I have also begun to note which eye it is occuring in. With the increase in frequency, should I be concerened that these events are part of a bigger problem?
