Hi and welcome to the Migraines & Headaches Community.

What you are experiencing is a migraine aura. This can occur before, during or after the pain from a migraine begins. So, if you are experiencing that before getting a headache then it will be a good clue to take some Excedrin (excellent for migraines).
Migraines and anxiety almost go hand in hand. So, I am not surprised and its nothing to be concerned about. In fact, if that is as far as it gets and not a full blown migraine....consider yourself blessed. :)
Seriously...try some Excedrin...even though they last for seconds, since you are having them so frequently, you can something.
