Hi everyone, i just joined this forum as it seems perfect for my question.

My girlfriend had the weirdest thing happen to her today, it's never happened before, and started very soon after she woke up. I'll just paste the description what she wrote to me in an email...


"When i came downstairs and i noticed it, the only way i can describe the position of it was like you know when youve been looking at a bright light say, and you can see that imprint wherever you look for a while?
well, it was like this, only this blob was moving. as in not moving around all over my vision, it was stuck in one place but it was rippling like water but it was flickering multicolours.
Then it started getting bigger. When i was talking to my mom and i was looking at her eye, i couldnt see her nose, and as it got bigger i could see her eye still but not the rest of her face. Then eventually the whole of my right side of my vision was going crazy.
I couldnt see anyhting, it was ALL moving like the only way i can describe is like rippling water, but it wasnt like i could see whatever through the water it was all multicoloured.
You know like how if your doing something but you can see the TV flickering in the corner of your eye, and not the colors on the TV screen but the colors of the blue, green, and red that make up the TV colors ? like that
But it was also rippling aswell as flickering. When i actually got to the hospital it had totally gone, my vision was perfect again."


...Does anybody have a idea what this could be?? She did have a slight headache afterwards. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

Thanks.
