Bright Migraine Flashes?

Question

I have flashes of light when i have a migraine but during not before so its not a warning aura. Does anyone know what that means?

Answer 1

Visual aura,and  mainly photopsia (flashes) can appear during (instead of before) the headache  in migraine (in around 20 per cent of cases).

It could just be this.

Answer 2

Those are classic signs of migraine and I have had them on & off for years. Usually I get flashes and shortly thereafter the partial blind-spots and then headache and nausea.  I rarely feel one coming on and if I do I take 2 Excedrin Migraine and it's worked for me if I do it immediately. Ask your doctor which is the right treatment for you.
