That doesn't sound normal to me. Maybe check with your GP??Have the flashes stopped?

It's not. I earnestly urge you to have that checked out. It could be simply related to low blood sugar or it could be more. But as a person who is kind of careless about my battered old carcass even I take anything that sounds like what happened you very carefully. Qualified medical will sort it out and then you won't have to wonder what it "could be" - if your like me, the uncertainty is usually worse than the reality
Very best wishes for it Sue. Keep us posted if you can,OK

In a word.......no.
Get checked out by your GP.
It may be nothing but could be a symptom of something serious.

I was thinking about migraine especially if it was sunny. I run along a long avenue, sided by railings on both sides, and you get shadows formed by every one of the uprights, and it bother my eyes . It's quite weird but deffo headache inducing
