Migraine is a neurological condition that typically causes severe headaches, but can also have other symptoms. The symptoms of a migraine can vary from person to person, but some of the most common symptoms include:
- Throbbing or pulsing headache on one side of the head
- Sensitivity to light, sound, or smells
- Nausea and vomiting
- Dizziness or lightheadedness
- Blurred vision or temporary loss of vision
- Tingling or numbness in the face or extremities
- Difficulty concentrating or thinking clearly
- Fatigue or weakness
- Neck pain or stiffness
Migraines can also have a prodrome phase, which can occur hours or even days before the onset of the headache. During this phase, some people may experience symptoms such as mood changes, food cravings, or increased urination. After the headache has subsided, some people may experience a postdrome phase, which can cause feelings of exhaustion, confusion, or euphoria. It’s important to note that not everyone with migraine experiences all of these symptoms, and that the severity and duration of symptoms can vary from person to person.
