Are all headaches with visual auras considered migraines? i occasionally see light specks, but the headache seems normal otherwise.

Migraine with aura: Approximately 30% of migraine attacks are classified as migraine with aura. Headache follows within 60 minutes of the termination of the aura (aura may also precede the headache or begin with it). Only primary headaches with aura considered Migraine with aura.
