Headache and temporary sight loss. What is this?

Posted , 3 users are following.

it doesn't happen very often, but probably it happens about once a month. So what has been happening is that i feel fine and then in the next instant my head starts throbbing uncontrollably and my vision starts to fade out then i go complete blind, but 30 seconds later i'm fine. Is this a form of migraine because i thought they normally lasted at least half an hour. Please respond if you know what this is?

    I get this. I have been blind for up to 20 minutes. Also my vision goes blue for hours. Very scary but neurologist shrugs it off
