Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The horizontal and verticle lights/flashes of lights indicate some severe problem in inner eye (Galucoma/retinal problems). Such symptoms with emotional stress is possible but that is transient.
You should consult an opthalmologist at the earliest to exclude more risky condition.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
