Migraine headaches result from an abnormal function of the brain's blood vessels. There are several different types of migraines that have different symptoms associated with them. Sackett and Associates understands that migraines are a debilitating disorder because they are often accompanied by hypersensitivity to light and sound as well as nausea. Most migraines involve a visual disturbance 10-30 minutes before the onset of the migraine headache. Symptoms include throbbing or pounding felt in the forehead, temple, or jaw; difficulty with speech; weakness of an arm or leg; mental vagueness, mood changes, fatigue, retention of fluids, diarrhea and increased urination, and nausea and vomiting. A poorly understood fact about migraine headaches is that these symptoms can last for two to four days in some sufferers.
