I get this kind of thing when I (very rarely) get a migraine. Interestingly, it comes on like 20min before the terrible crushing headache begins.

- lavasalesman 4y agoMigraine rescue medications that target CGRP receptors like Nurtec or Ubrelvy would help with this. They're modern migraine meds and have no side effects for me.
- franga2000 4y agoSame for me. It's a useful warning to immediately drop whatever I'm doing, cancel all my plans for the day and find a dark room to hide in. That said, now that I've found a drug that works extremely well for me, I can often recover in less than an hour and continue my day with only something like a mild hangover. If you haven't already, definitely talk to a doctor and look into migraine-specific medication. They work like magic and the new stuff actually seems pretty safe. I never leave home without an emergency pill in my wallet.
- brokenmachine 4y agoThis might sound weird, but I can often stop the headache from happening after getting aura by doing pushups or running on the spot to get some blood/adrenaline flowing and/or drinking a coke (I never drink coke normally). Sometimes it doesn't work, but mostly it does.
