Brief Answer:
It can be migraine headache.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to Health care Magic.

I reviewed your history. It seems from the history that you are having symptoms of seeing zig zag lines lasting for about 30 minutes followed by headache.
These symptoms are typically seen in primary headaches like migraine. The symptoms of seeing zig zag lines is the prodromal phase and this is followed by headache as in your case indicates a typical episode of migraine.
The treatment is by use of analgesic drugs in acute episode for pain relief.
The re current attacks require use of anti migraine drugs prophylactically like flunarizine or propranolol. Acute attacks not responding to analgesic and pain killers are treated by ergot alkaloids.

Hence I advice you to consult your physician doctor for examination for confirmation of diagnosis and treatment accordingly.

Hope this is helpful to you.
Do write back to me for further questions.
Thank you
With regards
