There's a type of headache called migraine, which sometimes has symptoms called "aura". Aura can range from visual problems (loss of sight, bright flashing spots, zigzag lines, etc.) to physical ones that can include tingling and numbness in the face. You can also experience confusion, slurred speech and nausea. Most often aura preceeds pain, but many get migraine symptoms with no pain, especially the nausea. The physical aura, particularly tingling and numbness, have been likened to that experienced by someone having stroke, as well as the slurred speech and confusion. Stroke victims experience vision loss only, no other visual problems.
