If you suffer from migraines, you know very well that the term pain is not the right one to use. Migraine pain is paralyzing. But leaving aside the severe headache, migraine is also accompanied by other strange symptoms. You will feel your eyes unusually and an abnormal olfactory ability.
Vague visions
You may have moments during which you seem to see bandages of light, which can be almost blinding, which are actually the result of a visual illusion occurring inside your brain.
dizziness
Many people experience a terrible dizziness, a feeling as if the room is spinning so much that it seems as if they will collapse if they do not sit down. Often these dizziness is accompanied by nausea. Migraine cases are almost always accompanied by severe dizziness.
Stinging pain
Research shows that at some point some nerves are activated that make you feel pain so sharp that it seems as if needles are piercing you. After that the nerves go dormant which causes you to numb. So you have the stinging sensation, followed by a numbing sensation that is usually felt on the hands.
High sensitivity to touch.
Just as when we burn from the sun, in certain sensory areas, a sharp pain is caused when we touch something with light. This condition is caused by hot blood vessels, which clog the nerves and cause pain in the brain and spine.
"Funny" face
The condition of the face, mouth, tongue can hinder your expression and tarnish your speech. You may also have difficulty remembering words.
Unpleasant odors
The scents you smell can make you feel heavy and confuse you. You are not alone, almost all people suffering from migraines experience the same excessive olfactory sensitivity. Unfortunately this does not make freshly baked cookies more palatable. Instead, a portion of the brain overloads the olfactory area, making your stomach more sensitive.
High sensitivity to the sun.
Exposure to very bright and sunny environments would not help prevent pain. Exposure to the sun signals your optic nerves, which send signals to the brain to activate pain receptors. The mechanism is so powerful that the blind who suffer from migraines, suffer terribly from this.
