What are migraines?

Migraines are a recurring type of headache.

What are the symptoms of migraines?

There are four different phases of migraines.

1. Prodome. This phase starts up to 24 hours before you get the migraine. You have early signs and symptoms, such as food cravings, unexplained mood changes, uncontrollable yawning, fluid retention, and increased urination.

2. Aura. You might see flashing or bright lights or zig-zag lines. You may have muscle weakness or feel like you are being touched or grabbed. An aura can happen just before or during a migraine.

3. Headache. A migraine usually starts gradually and then becomes more severe. It typically causes throbbing or pulsing pain, which is often on one side of your head. But sometimes you can have a migraine without a headache. Other migraine symptoms may include

Increased sensitivity to light, noise, and odors

Nausea and vomiting

Worsened pain when you move, cough, or sneeze

4. Postdrome. You may feel exhausted, weak, and confused after a migraine. This can last up to a day.
