I do have retinal issues due me having bad eyes but today i was pushing myself on the bike and had flickering spot in corner of eye. stroke?

Do not Strain !: You need to go see an ophthalmologist. Floaters and flickering spot with strain could be a sign of vitreous hemorrhage or retinal detachment. Go to ophthalmologist asap. This is most likely not stroke.
