Whoa

I just had a very, very odd experience which now, after a bit of googling I come to realize I had an ocular migraine.

I was putting tattoos on the kids in the bathroom and when I came out, I seemed to have a blind spot, as if I'd stared at a light bulb (but I couldn't remember doing so). At first it was small, but I realized within a few minutes it wasn't normal. It seemed to be getting larger, and larger and moved into the center of my vision. Then I began to see a zig zag in my vision, flashing with intense white and rainbow colors; the zig zag grew until it was distorting most of my vision, at this point I was on google, trying to find out what it was. I came across a page for ocular migraine and figured this was what it was so I quickly gulped down a pepsi. I couldn't clearly see anything at this point, only stuff in the peripheral was clear. Within 5 minutes of drinking the pepsi, things started to return to normal, and 5 minutes later, it was gone. Lasted about 30 minutes start to finish, but man, it was weird. I have a slight headache now, but not a full blown "usual" migraine.
