Common Signs of a Migraine

Headaches aren't the only symptom of migraines. Migraines are an umbrella for multiple symptoms, and everyone experiences a migraine a little bit differently. How do you know you have a migraine? The following are the hallmarks of a migraine headache:



  • A drooping eyelid (more common in cluster headaches but it can happen in migraines)



  • Bloodshot eyes



  • Cold hands and feet or feeling hot all over



  • Flushed or pale face or a very red face



  • Frequent, regular headaches



  • Moderate to severe pain



  • Pain lasts several hours to three days



  • Tender scalp



  • Throbbing pain on one or both sides of the head



  • Feeling better after sleeping




Associated symptoms include nausea, vomiting, visual disturbances, sensitivity to loud noises and light, and feeling depressed.
