What are the symptoms of migraine?

i dont know about anyone else, but when im going to get a lets go to the hospital migrine, how can i explain it i get numb on one side of my face and loose sight in one eye. it dont know if this has ever happend to any one this has happend to me at least once a year, i dont know what triggers it to get that strong, and the doctors dont find nothing wrong with me. go figure! but i agree with every one here you will know when hits you. its a very strong pain, all the symtons every one has described..

No, frequent recurring headaches are not considered migraines unless they are actually migraines which are recurring. Migraines literally knock people off their feet and only sometimes does taking painkillers relieve the symptoms. I know several people who have to go get shots of something or other to relieve them. There is very little chance that you will get a migraine and not just instinctively "KNOW" that it is a migraine.

A migraine will include extreme sensitivity to light. Migraines also cause nausia and vomiting. When I get a migraine, I have to stay in a dark room, with a puke bucket next to the bed. A cold rag on my head helps with the 'throbbing' pain as well. Pain killers will only help if I can get them to stay down long enough to kick in.

Believe me, you will know when you've had a migraine. Migraines are in a whole different category. They can travel from your head all the way down your body. First, the pain starts to hurt in my head then moves to my neck. The neck pain is terrible and it leaves me bed ridden. The next thing that affects me is my lower back. And I can't do much but lie in bed with back pain. Sometimes the pain travels to my legs, but that's rare for me. Bright lights are an issue. And loud noises are an issue. I wouldn't wish migraines on my worst enemies.

Common symptoms of migraine are associated with: 1. Intense head pain. 2. Feeling a relentless throbbing or pounding deep in the head. 3. Having nausea. 4. Vomiting. 5. Strong and painful reactions to light and loud noises. 6. Not being able to carry out day to day activities.
