Hey,

Sometimes my vision goes a bit funny and I get a dull headache after a
aura lightshow, where I can't do things that are critical like work or
drive. Thankfully I can only count three occasions it has happened going
back over twenty years. Maybe stress related it seems.

Someone on YouTube seems to have successfully stuck a camera inside his
head, as the aura he is showing with graphics, is spot on with what I suffered with.

From a straw poll elsewhere, seems a few folks have this as well. This
video may well help in explaining the effects to others.

I get these once in a blue moon, first time thirty years ago, my partner gets them very occasionally. Dehydration and stress seem to make it more likely.

Goes away after about an hour leaving one feeling tired.

Many people go on to have a splitting migraine headache, but thankfully neither of us do.

It is quite common.

I get these sometimes too, but shorter duration, less severe and
without the headaches. The video is a pretty accurate depiction of
what it looks like. Interesting to know what it's called, and
reassuring to know it's not serious.

Anyone getting these should get their blood pressure checked. It’s a well known symptom (but not the only cause). It’s what got me put on blood pressure medication.
