Get evaluated.: Occular migraines are visual changes, usually flashing lights or wavy lines, that are not followed by a migraine headache. If you have not been fully evaluated, and especially if the pattern of your symptoms has changed, talk to your doctor. They may recommend getting an imaging study, i.e., ct or mri, if it hasn't been done. Lgromkomd.

Doubtful: It is very unlikely that you have a "brain tumor", but your episodes sound unusually frequent. You likely possess classical migraines, and a preventative medication might be in order. See a neurologist who focuses in headaches, and devise a treatment plan. Unless your exam shows abnormalities, you likely do not need imaging at this point.
