The warning sign occur in the Prodrome stage of the migraine process of four stages: Prodrome, Aura, Headache and finally Postdrome. If an individual can become aware of the warning signs they experience, they better stop the migraine from becoming so overwhelmingly intense and find some relief.

The first stage that migraine sufferers endure is referred to as prodrome or the preemptive/pre-headache stage. During the prodrome stage, soon to be migraine suffers will begin to experience symptoms that serve as warning signs such as:

Messing With Your Head
A migraine messes with the blood vessels in the brain causing them to enlarge releasing a chemical which in turn attacks the arteries in the brain. This attacking causes the immense pain associated with migraines. Some of the other symptoms might include: nausea, vomiting, blurred vision, loss of concentration and even displaced motor skills. Not a pretty picture, however you can minimize these occurrences by first avoiding the triggers that cause these vascular headaches. A trigger is the catalyst that starts the migraine chain reaction and is mostly environmentally caused. Here are some of the known triggers: weather changes, alcohol, foods, caffeine, humidity, neck/back tension, bright light, cigarette smoke and even a lack of sleep. Also, you must follow a migraine treatment plan in order to eliminate these annoying discomforts from your life.
After A Migraine Headache Is Triggered
Migraine headaches are not really headaches but are in fact a neurological condition that develops in the brain. When a migraine is in the early stages, the blood vessels in the brain begin to enlarge and or expand causing intense pain in the head that resembles a pounding or throbbing. The pain of a migraine is felt unilaterally which means it is felt on one side of the head right above the eye. As the blood vessels in the brain expand, they begin to release a harmful chemical into the brain; the released chemical then attacks with fierceness the brain’s arteries creating a whole slew of migraine symptoms to unleash and inflict misery on the migraine patient. The symptoms build and build until the blood vessels return to their original size and the arteries are no longer affected by the attacking chemical.
