Common Migraine Symptoms

A migraine headache can be different for everyone however there are some migraine symptoms that many people have in common:

Headache

A common migraine symptom is a very bad headache, often found in the side of the head at the temple area. This headache can be extremely painful and may sometimes be debilitating during the time the person experiences the attack.

Flashing Lights

Some people experience vision problems like seeing flashing lights or having blurred vision when having a migraine. These visual symptoms may be minor or may be severe enough that they affect one’s ability to function.

Nausea and Vomiting

Some migraines are accompanied by nausea and vomiting. Some people find that taking anti-nausea medications helps relieve these symptoms. For others, lying down may help alleviate the feeling of nausea.

Sound and Light Sensitivity

Another common migraine symptom is sensitivity to both light and sound. When someone has a migraine, they may find that their symptoms are worse when they are in bright light or when they’re surrounded by a lot of noise. Because of this some migraine sufferers may find relief by lying down in a dark, quiet room.

It’s important to remember that migraine symptoms are not the same for everyone, and even people who have had migraines in the past may not get the same symptoms for each migraine. Also, if someone experiences the symptoms above it’s not necessarily certain that they’re experiencing a migraine. Discuss your symptoms with your doctor and let them make a diagnosis and provide suggestions for relief.
