Hello,
The symptoms which you have mentioned like headache, nausea followed by spotty vision are all suggestive of migraine headache.
In migraine headache patient will have visual symptoms like spotty vision as a part of prodromal symptoms, headache will be typically associated with nausea.
Though migraine is not a serious problem, this requires treatment as recurrent attacks of headache will affect your life.
Thank you
