I got plenty of migraines as a child and young adult. The typical pulsing pain in the front of my head above one eye, sometimes both. Later in life they became visual disturbances that subsided into a migraine. Often now they are accompanied by nausea and dizziness. Lately, for the first time I had one in my sleep. I was conscious of it, (perhaps I had woken up) though I continued or fell back to sleep for several more hours. Woke with pretty bad nausea. Collapsed on my way back from getting a bucket, was too dizzy to get up and threw up (in the bucket, fortunately). That was fun.

Anyways, today I found out these headaches have a name. Scintillating scotoma, who knew? (rhetorical)

Does anyone else here get these type of headaches?

You're terribly constipated. I suggest a nice warm bowl of oatmeal with no sugar. I've never had a headache I couldn't get rid of with a good deuce. Eat a couple tbsp of coconut oil, that helps too.
