Symptoms of a Migraine
Posted on : January 12, 2018
These headaches are intense or severe and often have other symptoms in addition to head pain. Symptoms associated with a migraine headache include:
- Nausea
- Pain behind one eye or ear
- Pain in the temples
- Seeing spots or flashing lights
- Sensitivity to light and/or sound
- Temporary vision loss
- Vomiting
Migraine headaches are typically divided into two categories: a migraine with aura and migraine without aura. An “aura” refers to sensations a person experiences before they get a migraine. The sensations typically occur anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes before an attack. These can include:
- Feeling less mentally alert or having trouble thinking
- Seeing flashing lights or unusual lines
- Feeling tingling or numbness in the face or hands
- Having an unusual sense of smell, taste, or touch
