I don't see after images so it can't be palinopsia can it? what i see are lights that move quickly in my vision only after i exert myself like lifting

Difficult to tell: Without an exam. Can you try to draw the symptom to show to your ophthalmologist or neurologist? Your symptoms could be palinopsia, visual aura, vitreoretinal traction, all of which deserve some more medical workup.
