Migraine with aura: Any activity that increases intracranial pressure such as physical exertion, bending down, coughing or sneezing is able to induce the pain of migraine. However, the presence of neurological signs and symptoms normally associated with a migraine attack do not constitute a warning signal of ominous disease. Rec. See a headache or orofacial pain specialist for comprehensive evaluation.

Sinusitis: It surely sounds like an infection of the sinuses. You may need to get in to see your family doctor.

Migraine: The phenomenon you saw last night was classic for occipital (also called visual) migraine. These are colorful, benign events which cause no long term problems and are not indicative of underlying pathology. The pain you feel is unrelated to the migraine and may reflect sinus disease, or ordinary headache. If this persists you might visit your regular doctor.
