Question: What is an opthalmic migraine and have you had one!?
I experienced this odd visual disturbance like a photography flash going off everything blurred zigzag pattern with light in middle, never had it before and it lasted 20 mins or so, I felt anxious during it, and a bit panicked, but googled it to find it was some sort of migraine aura!? and I have a head cold and stuffy nose today!. Any helpful comments of others who had this would be appreciated ! taWww@Answer-Health@Com

It's most likely a Basilar Migraine!. See here --> http://www!.healthcentral!.com/migraine/ty!.!.!.
I had it twice!. Not fun!. The first time I had it, it came with a conscious state of confusion!. I knew I was confused!. I could not string words together!. I could read words, but not understand the sentence!. The 2nd time, 1 year later, it was just visual!.
See a doctor just in case -- just in case it is a clot or similar!. I had a CAT scan and took aspirin for a few days, just in case!. Once the CAT scan came back negative, I stopped!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You may well be describing a migraine with a visual aura, however there are also other possible causes for your symptoms!. Much safer to get your GP to arrange a check up!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
