Coffee withdrawal

Hi all hope you're all well.

Just listened to last night's playback and one thing really struck me. Richard said he had a migraine due to stopping drinking coffee.

I stopped drinking coffee (decaf) about 10 days ago now and have had a migraine every day since.

I have vision distortions for about 40 minutes and then a headache centred around the back of the eye that lasts hours. I was really worried and have seen my gp and optician since.

It's only just clicked that it could be the coffee withdrawal. Does this sound feasible or is this an excessive amount and might be something else. Not sure if I'm seeing any benefit from not drinking coffee at the moment as the migraines are making me feel anxious.
