Q: Vision Question - headache caused me to see small white blotches

I'm 17 and I'm a senior in high school and today i had the worst headache ive ever had before. I don't get headaches that much, During my 3rd period my vision got kinda weird. There was certain spots that were blocked out of my vision. Almost like small white blotches. Like on my video notes if i looked at the word example School, if i stared at it i could only see scho and the rest was blocked out and i would have to turn my head to see it.

After a while it stopped and my head felt better but then it came back and I continued to have a bad headache all day.

I'm not ever really concerned about my health lol to tell you the truth it just kinda scared me how i couldn't even see certain spots for a while. I was wondering if anyone would be able to tell me what it was?

Thanks guys

Was the headache located on one side of your head?
Did you feel nauseous?
Did you find yourself too sensitive to lights and sounds at that moment?

Did you have pale skin as well as cold hands and feet when you had headache attack?
Did you experience an intense, throbbing or pounding pain?
For how long this attack lasted?
Have you felt sleepiness, irritability, fatigue, depression or euphoria, yawning, and cravings for sweet or salty foods, days or hours before the severe headache appear?
