There are many different migraine symptoms. Not all migraine sufferers will experience ALL of these, and a different range of symptoms may be experienced on each attack.
Typical migraine symptoms include:
- persistent throbbing or pounding pain in the head
- feeling of pressure in the head
- sensitivity to light
- sensitivity to sound
- sensitivity to movement
- nausea
- vomiting
- diarrhoea
- feelings of exhaustion.
Aura
Some migraine headaches can cause other neurological (to do with the brain) symptoms – called aura.
These are usually visual disturbances that start before or accompany the headache, including flashing lights, black spots, zig-zag patterns or distorted vision.
You might also get a stiff neck, have tingling or stiff limbs, or have difficulty speaking.
For many, the symptoms are so severe that they are forced to lie down in a quiet dark room and wait until the migraine stops.
