Migraine headaches are different than other types of headaches. How do you tell what kind of headache you have? It is important to know migraine symptoms in order to determine this. Some people experience symptoms before they feel head pain. These migraine symptoms can begin up to two days before the migraine happens. These symptoms might include mood changes like irritability, depression, or hyperactivity. Additional symptoms include neck stiffness, extreme tiredness, and food cravings. After the initial symptoms, many migraine sufferers experience what is called an "aura" before their head pain begins. During this phase, a person may see bright flashes of light or spots before their eyes. Some people experience vision loss as well. Other people experience symptoms like tingling in their hands, arm and neck. Some people may experience problems speaking or may have weakness in their arms and legs. These symptoms are rare however. Migraine pain can be described as moderate to severe throbbing pain which is usually located on one side of the head, above the eyes in the temple area. Some people experience migraine pain on both sides of the head. Migraine pain is not just confined to the temple area and can also occur around the eyes, in the back of the head, or in the forehead area. People who are experiencing migraines may experience increased pain when going about their normal everyday activities like walking or bending over. Migraine sufferers may also experience light sensitivity as well as an aversion to strong smells. Nausea, vomiting, blurred vision, and diarrhea can also occur. The pain from a migraine last from 4 hours to 3 days. After a migraine, some people may be extremely tired or nauseous for a few days. Others may also have a mild headache. Although migraines affect approximately 28 million people each year, many people aren't diagnosed and never see a doctor to diagnose their symptoms. Migraines are more common in women than in men. About 17% of women will experience migraines as opposed to 6% of men.
