We need to rule out transient ischemic attack and migraine.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to Health care magic

I am Dr. DADAPEER K, an Ophthalmologist and I answer health problems related to eye.

I reviewed your history.
These symptoms and sudden onset of blurring of vision, unable to focus with headache most commonly indicate a transient ischemic attack or prodromal phase of migraine headache.
I would advice you to take pain killer tablets and analgesic tablets for symptomatic relief.
If the symptoms are recurrent you need to consult your physician doctor for evaluation and treatment accordingly.

Hope I have answered your question and the information is helpful to you.
Do write back to me for further questions.

Thank you
