I noticed something today if I stare at an object I see a ...halo? light surrounding it of a different color. I had a mild headache at the time .I went outside looked at the sky hundreds of tiny specks of light swirling in different directions. after the headache eased off things went back to normal. is this normal? Mild headache not a migraine.
I just have to ask ... do you burst out and start singing that Beyonce song?
It's a rare visual phenomenon thingy. The "white specs going everywhere" is called Visual Snow. It happened to me about 3 times o.o
Please listen to me...
What you are describing is NOT normal.
The headache and halos are symptoms of glaucoma or some other SERIOUS EYE DISEASES. If not treated, a person with glaucoma can go BLIND.
PLEASE SEE AN EYE DOCTOR RIGHT AWAY
I think when you look up at the sky, blood drains from the upper part of the brain causing the sort of visual snow people witness before being knocked the f out... or fainting. cardiac problems??
as for the glow... was there a window to the side??
It's a known effect (the name of which is eluding me at the moment). Someone once told me it's the soul of an object or its aura from a previous life. It's funny what people will make up without any evidence.
kaydon Ty I looked it up found this .

Visual Snow
Visual snow (VS ) is the name first given to a vision altering condition now referred to as Persistent Migraine Aura (PMA). The common factor
that all sufferers share is the persisting visual symptom of seeing snow or television-like static across their visual field. The snow and static
tends to be worse in the dark, but can be seen in all lighting conditions.
VS or PMA should not be confused with normal entopic phenomena or vitreous floaters. While these two conditions also cause you to see spots
and floating objects, this is not the same as VS or PMA.
There is no known cause for VS/ PMA. Through documented case studies illegal and legal drug usage can sometimes lead to VS/ PMA, but little is
known on the specific causes. A few connections between HPPD, auto-immune disease, and lyme disease have been found. However, far more
cases of Persistent Migraine Aura have no connection at all to another condition.
Although the vision is affected, very few people have had irregular
eye test results. Most come back within normal range, leading
doctors to believe that patients may be making their symptoms up.
CT scans and MRIs also tend to come back normal, again stumping
doctors . It is more likely to be an undetectable chemical imbalance
in the brain.
The term Persistent Migraine Aura is more fitting for the condition
as there are numerous symptoms that patients experience above
and beyond visual snow. Many people also see after images,
vitreous floaters, entopic phenomenon, glare, halos, starbursts,
trails, paliponisia, double vision, odd colors and shapes. Many
sufferers also have non-visual symptoms such as fatigue, tinnitus or
depersonalization and derealisation.
There currently is no established treatment for visual snow or PMA.
Many patients have tried migraine medication with little to no
success. Other have tried herbs, cleansing, acupuncture, and
chiropractors, again with little to no success.
It is important for you to realize that this is a 24/7 condition for these sufferers. The symptoms do not ever go away. Even with their eyes
closed they see the static, afterimages and other disturbing visual images. With the help of a handful of caring doctors, the Eye on Vision
Foundation strives to raise funds for future research into finding a treatment.
