Different people experience migraine auras in different ways. They can be described as flashing lights or zig zags. Personally I think the best way to describe them is like you have looked at a really bright light and then looked away. The flashing trace of the light is kind of what a migraine aura looks like.
They can start quite small and then grow and change shape before expanding out of your vision.

If a person has a really bad headache and sees auras what type of headache do they have?
Intense headaches which involve auras indicate migraine headaches. Migraine headaches are a neurological disorder involving inflammation of the nerves and blood vessels in the brain. Migraine pain is usually on one side of the head and is throbbing or stabbing in nature. Not all migraines have auras; common migraine is migraine without aura, classic migraine is considered migraine with aura. Each episode can last anywhere from 4-72 hours and can be set off by many things. People who have auras, which refers to a temporary visual disturbance, usually have them right before the pain sets in or early in the headache. Each patient has their own unique set of migraine triggers. Finding out what your triggers are can help you minimize how many migraines you get. If you are getting more than two a month, you qualify to receive preventative medication.
Why do you go completely blind just before you get an excruciating headache?
This question seems to regard a particular type of headache known as a migraine. Most traditional migraineurs experience "auras" as a preliminary symptom of an incoming migraine, which could explain the blindness. Auras typically comprise various shapes affecting peripheral and focused vision and can be just as annoying as the migraine itself. Auras are hard to describe visually, but mine look like a very bright light shining through a prism in water (i.e. a pulsating rainbow effect). In my case, which differs from one migraine sufferer to the next, the worse my vision is due to auras and the longer the auras last, the worse the migraine will be. I recall one time being "blinded" by auras where I was not fit to do anything at all--I could not read anything nor could I focus on anything at all. The migraine that followed those symptoms evolved into the worst one I had, which caused vomiting, nausea, and rendered me totally useless for a few hours. If you experience those symptoms, I recommend taking some type of powerful pain killer immediately. Additionally, begin logging your results per migraine. I record perhaps too much information, but I note the time of day the auras started, how long the auras lasted, rate the severity of the auras, the total duration of the migraine experience, rate the pain associated with migraines, note side effects, record every bit of food eaten (or not eaten) that day and the day before, barometric pressure difference from the day of the migraine and the previous day, the amount of sleep from the night before (or lack thereof), the stress level in your life, pollen levels outside, and note your hypersensitivities (does light bother your eyes? sound? etc.). From taking such logs, I've been able to deduce that irregular dieting (skipping a meal), ingesting caffeine at the wrong time of the day, lacking sleep, and stress factor into triggering migraines. I have it down almost to a T where if I want to induce a migraine, I know exactly how to diet, sleep, and live 48 hours before getting one. Good luck in overcoming them!
Do you need to worry that the Aura you get with a classical migraine has lasted for over 3 hours?
Migraine auras do not usually last long than a couple of hours. In some people, however, auras can drag on persistently. Rarely, they can last for weeks. It is important to get checked out by a doctor to make sure nothing more serious is going on. If you doctor determines that there is no cause for concern, you may still wish to discuss the possibility of getting on a preventative regimen for migraine. Even if you are not experiencing the pain of the migraine, and only other neurological symptoms, the fact is that your brain is still experiencing the nerve activity associated with migraine. This is not a type of nerve activity you want your brain to become accustomed to, as it will become easier and easier to trigger migraines.

The Lesser Known Story of Migraine Symptoms ?
Migraine symptoms follow a common pattern for most people. However, is there anything else that you are overlooking? In general, symptoms include pain, sensitivity to light, auras, and nausea. The only thing you need to be on alert for is a migraine symptom that does not follow your normal pattern. This change could be the sign of a stroke or other health complication. In those rare cases, do not delay. Consult the emergency room immediately and let them know you have a migraine that feels new or different.
