Migraines are not simply an intense headache, but a neurological disorder. During a migraine, there is a spreading cortical depression (which means that a portion of the brain electrical activity slows down for a short amount of time) and then there is inflammation of the nerves and blood vessels. For some people, this results in the visual disturbances known as aura. For other people, balance issues. For other people, numbness of the extremities. There are many different ways migraines can manifest itself, and it is all unique to that person.
Anytime it is the first time new neurological symptoms arise, seek immediate medical care.
