What causes the Migraine Aura itself?
I sometimes have an aura before the pain begins. The appearance of it varies. Sometimes flashing lights, sometimes looks like a shimmer or waterfall that is hard to see through.
I experienced once this morning that was annoyingly large and long lasting. Could see it even with my eyes closed. No other symptoms.
I took 2 aspirin and went back to sleep, woke up fine. Currently take a beta blocker to prevent migraine, but have had a lot of family stress lately.

Although the cause of a migraine is not fully understood, most sufferers probably have a genetic predisposition to them. About 80 percent of people who have migraine headaches have a family history of migraines.It used to be thought that the aura and then headaches in migraines were caused by blood vessels at first contracting and then expanding (dilating) in the brain. However, recent research suggests that migraine symptoms are caused by changes in the activity of neurones (nerve cells in the brain), and that changes in blood vessels happen as a result of this. A chemical messenger in the brain - serotonin - is also thought to be involved in migraine.
