Oh no. Do you get migraines? That sounds a lot like the visual disturbance that comes before a migraine. Like a colorful something between you and whatever you are trying to look at?
Ocular migraine. Not always followed by an actual headache, to which I can attest. But the visuals are a trip for sure.
Yeah, I was going to say that too.
no i dont.
But it's in your field of vision like that, in the way of what it's blocking? Any sort of hallucination like that really should be explained by a doctor because what if it's some brain disorder that can be treated? And will harm you if untreated?
It does not have to feature a literal headache. How long does it last? For me it's mostly around 20 minutes up to 30 until it's completely gone.
Also, does it stay with eyes open and closed?
