Early Symptoms of Migraine Pain That You Shouldn?t Ignore

Migraine is a severe headache caused by a number of factors. This disease is also called as Adhakapari – which means the pain triggers in half part of the brain.

In medical terms, Migraine is categorised in four phases – prodrome, aura, attack (headache) and post-drome. Every phase has its own symptoms and one can experience it on its own.

Pro-drome Phase:

In this phase, the initial changes in the body are mood swings, constipation, yawning, food cravings, neck stiffness, increased thirst and frequent urination. This happens mostly one-two days before migraine attack.

Aura Phase:

People may get migraine with or without experiencing any aura. It may happen before and sometimes during the migraine attack. This phase exhibits the symptoms caused due to our nervous system like light flashes, loss of vision, weakness, Needle sensation, verbal difficulty etc. This phase may stay for half an hour to an hour.

Migraine Attack:

This is the most painful phase where the individual experience extreme pain, with nausea, blurred vision, sensitivity etc. A person with migraine attack may suffer between 4 hours to 72 hours. Also, the frequency of this attack varies from one person to another.
