Know your early symptoms
body
Migraine is more than headache pain, and no 2 attacks are the same. It may help to understand your early symptoms, which could include:
- Throbbing or pulsing pain, commonly on one side of the head
- Pain behind the eye or in the back of the head and neck
- Increased sensitivity to light, noise, and odors
- Nausea and vomiting
