Jonathan...Certainly see a neurologist. You may be having ocular migraines or atypical migraine. It's probably no coincidence that you started having typical migraines also. Migraine pain results first from dialation of the inner cranial blood vessels. Pain receptors in the vessels are stimulated resulting in the throbbing or pounding pain experienced in the typical migraine. Ocular migraines may not produce pain, only visual disturbances. Find out if there is a family history of migraines. Chocolate, caffeine and red wine can cause or worsen migraines as can stress. Typical migraines are distinguished from tension headache by their pounding characteristic and are often accompanied by nausea and photophobia (adversion to bright lights). Tension head are characterized by a "band" across the forehead and neck tension or pain. It is not uncommon for tension headaches to develop in response to the migraine. Anyway, do a google search of ocular migraines or atypical migraines and see if anything hits the target of what you are experiencing.
