Symptom #7: Migraines
Migraines are severe recurrent headaches that generally affect one-half of the head and last from 2 to 72 hours. The pain has been described to be pulsatile in nature with other associated symptoms such as vomiting, nausea, photophobia, phonophobia, and increased sensitivity to smell. The pain is usually exacerbated by exertion or any physical activity.
Approximately 33 percent of those with migraines may experience an aura. Migraines have also been linked to fibromyalgia. Studies have found that the frequency of fibromyalgia is much higher among patients with chronic migraines.
