most helpful answer based on your description here it does sound like you could be having migraines. a visual disturbance prior to the headache is a common symptom of migraine. other symptoms can include: sensitivity to light or noise nausea or vomiting feeling unusually hot or cold dizziness and that's just a short list. not everyone who gets a migraine will experience all of these symptoms. because you said this has happened to you twice i'd suggest consulting a medical professional. you can start with your primary care provider. while the symptoms you're describing can indeed be caused by migraine your health care provider will want to rule out any other potential causes. if it does turn out you're experiencing migraines your doctor can provide you with treatment options. sorry you're going through this. headaches of any kind can be a miserable experience!
seeing white spots followed by headache. this is the second time its happened. all of a sudden i start seeing white spots and it's hard to focus and see. it lasts for about 5-10 minutes then i get a huge headache or migraine.
