Brief Answer:
Suggestive of migraine.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted your symptoms and they are suggestive of migraine with visual aura.
You may start on preventive medications such as propranolol or topiramate to prevent the recurrence of these episodes of headache.
When you get headaches, you may take rizatriptan tablets.
I hope my reply has helped you.
I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.
