Migraines come in many forms, but the two most common are migraines without aura and migraines with aura.
A warning of an upcoming migraine, most sufferers experience an aura, which is a nervous system symptom. Auras can be visual (flashes of light, blurriness or distorted vision) or sensory (pins and needles), and they can affect movement (muscle weakness) or speech (difficulty speaking). However they manifest, auras generally last about 20-60 minutes before the onset of the migraine attack.
Following the migraine attack, sufferers experience a post-drome, which is often described as a zombie state that includes confusion, moodiness, weakness, dizziness, and continued sensitivity to light and sound.
Migraine triggers.
While modern medicine doesn’t yet understand the cause of a migraine, they appear to be both genetic and/or environmental. However, we do know common triggers for migraine attacks: estrogen fluctuations, stress, weather or pressure changes, certain foods, alcohol, caffeine, sleep irregularities, and medications.
