Migraines are much more severe than just a normal “everyday” headache that someone might use as an excuse to get out of something they do not want to do, a migraine can actually physically impair the individual suffering from them for hours or even days on end and occurs with many different migraine symptoms that happen while the attack takes place.
Most migraine sufferers will experience a migraine more than once, and more often than not they will experience them on a somewhat regular (also referred to as chronic) basis. This is why when attempting to find a migraine treatment each individual must try and be aware of the migraine signs and symptoms that are associated with a migraine attack. The migraine symptoms that often occur with an attack can vary with each individual; however the most commonly known migraine symptoms are as follows:
- An intense throbbing or pounding feeling which is typically located on one side of the forehead
- Pain can also generate in the back of the head
- Pain can generate right above one eye
- The pain is often described as unilateral meaning the pain is typically felt or experienced on only one side of the head. However, studies have shown that about one third of most migraine headaches are described as being felt on both sides of the head also referred to as bilateral.
- The pain that is felt from the migraine on one side of the head can alternate to the other side of the head during the next migraine attack. If an individual does experience frequent migraine attacks on the same side of the head they should speak with their doctor immediately as this could imply a more serious condition.
- Other migraine symptoms can include Nausea, Vomiting, Diarrhea, and Paleness, Coldness in the hands and feet, as well as Sensitivity to light and sound.
Knowing these common migraine symptoms can aid in migraine treatment. In fact migraines often start to reveal signs several hours to even days before the attack takes place, and studies have shown that almost 40% of migraine sufferers will have preemptive warning symptoms before the migraine actually hits. If a person is aware of the symptoms that may occur right before a full blown attack takes place preventative measures can then be taken in order to lessen the effects.
