Migraines, which affect children and teenagers as well as adults, can progress through four stages: prodrome, aura, attack and post-drome. Not everyone who has migraines goes through all stages.
What are the worst symptoms of a migraine?
- Intense throbbing or dull aching pain on one side of your head or both sides.
- Pain that worsens with physical activity.
- Nausea or vomiting.
- Changes in how you see, including blurred vision or blind spots.
- Being bothered by light, noise, or odors.
- Feeling tired and/or confused.
What do migraine sufferers see?
About 20% of people who suffer from migraine headaches will have an aura about 20 minutes to an hour before the pain. They may see flashing lights, wavy lines, or dots, or they may have blurry vision or blind spots. These are called "classic migraine headaches."
