The main symptom of a migraine is usually an intense headache on 1 side of the head.
The pain is usually a moderate or severe throbbing sensation that gets worse when you move and prevents you from carrying out normal activities.
In some cases, the pain can occur on both sides of your head and may affect your face or neck.
Other symptoms commonly associated with migraine include:
- feeling sick
- being sick
- increased sensitivity to light and sound, which is why many people with a migraine want to rest in a quiet, dark room
Some people also occasionally experience other symptoms, including:
- sweating
- poor concentration,
- feeling very hot or very cold
- tummy (abdominal) pain
- diarrhoea
Not everyone with a migraine experiences these additional symptoms and some people may experience them without having a headache. The symptoms of a migraine usually last between 4 hours and 3 days, although you may feel very tired for up to a week afterwards.
You should consult with your GP or prescriber before you purchase this medication for your migraines. This is to ensure that you receive the correct treatment for your condition.
