Nintendo Gaming / RE:NDS screens gave me a near black-out: was advised by EB Games staff to do away with it!

How weird, I just had the same thing happen earlier this evening and was really confused since I'd never had it happen before. I was in the middle of writing a paper on my computer and all of a sudden I started seeing flashing lines on my vision that obstructed my view. It got so bad I couldn't even read what I was typing. Then I got hit with a massive headache and couldn't think straight. The vision thing eventually cleared up but the headache stuck until I realized I hadn't eaten in like 24 hours, so I went and got a sandwich. As soon as I smelled food, the headache cleared up.
On the website for migraines, it says hunger is a possible cause, and the symptoms of the Classic Migraine match mine perfectly. Thanks guys, who needs a doctor when you have the PGC forums?
Anyway, looking at the website, it doesn't seem like the DS was the cause and I've certainly never had problems with epilepsy before, and I play games anywhere, even playing in the car doesn't make me sick. Of course, you should still see a doctor if it keeps happening. Fainting isn't usually serious, but if it happens repeatedly it can be a sign of something bigger.
