After sports, usually cardio i.e. running and soccer, I occasionally get flashing lights before me eyes (aura) followed by intense migraine headaches. The migraine lasts for approx 4 hours each time.

I suffer migraines and if I do sport without eating anything or drinking enough it brings on migraine, very similar to yours starting with the flashing lights and ending with a massive migraine, except mine last for a couple of days.
As long as I have an energy drink or eat a couple of hours beforehand and drink plenty of water during the exercise im fine. Give it a go and if this does not help, see a doctor.
It is just one of many triggers for migraines, not a brain tumour.

Dehydration plays a big part in headaches and migraines. Drink plenty of water and this should stop the pain you are receiveing.

One might surmise that the increase in blood pressure for the actions may trigger the attack
