What Causes Stars In Each Eye During Exercise?

I see a feathery star in each eye sometimes during exersise. the star looks like victoria cross medal tilted 45degrees. the star/cross is right in the middle of my vision and each eye looks different. Usualy can only see them when looking at a blank surface or the sky and will be more visible when blinking. Is this something I should see my doctor about or is it likely to be just migraine type symptoms, I do get migraines occasionaly but have only had visual effects with them once - a lightning like line starting in the middle of my vision and extending to the periffery in a loose spiral. The stars/cross never leads to a migrain headach and goes away if I ease up on the work rate when exersising.

Hello
I reviewed your history. These symptoms of seeing pattern of stars indicate aura phase of migraine.
These are probably because of stress induced by the exercise.
These will resolve with treatment of migraine.
The treatment of migraine is mainly use of drugs line flunarizine or propranolol.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
