Hello
It seems like you had sudden onset diminution of vision lasted for few minutes associated with headache, pressure in the chest...
Headache associated with these kind of visual symptoms is typical of migraine headache. The visual symptoms are usually part of the aura before the headache.
The other causes for sudden and transient diminution of vision are transient ischemic attacks.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly depending on the cause.
Thank you
