Migraine; Symptoms, Causes, Treatment & Relief

Migraine symptoms

Migraines vary in intensity, cause, and timing. Symptoms vary on this basis. Some signs will be evident minutes before a headache, others during the headache, while others will be after the headache. It is important to consult a doctor to establish your specific cause and condition. It also takes individual initiative to detect the triggers and how the pain starts.

While symptoms vary from case to case, here are the standard symptoms:

  • Pulsing or throbbing pain
  • Increased sensitivity to environmental factors such as light and sound, which can easily be managed by changing environment to a quiet place free of the triggers.
  • Severe pain that inhibits you to go on with daily activities; pain can hinder bending, running among other physical activities.
  • Chronic pain on one side of the head, which may extend to both sides at advanced stages.
  • Sickly and weak feeling; some people vomit during or before migraines.
  • Some people experience diarrhea, sweating, stomachache, and high fever.
