The Phases of a Migraine Attack and Their Symptoms

By MigraineCast, Health Guide Monday, July 16, 2007
  • lowered mood levels, especially depression
  • or feelings of well-being and euphoria
  • fatigue
  • poor concentration and comprehension
  • lowered intellect levels


There can be great advantage to learning about these phases of a Migraine and how to recognize them. Once we know about them and learn to listen to our bodies, if we experience prodrome or aura symptoms, we have a better chance of avoiding the headache phase. In addition, there's always an emotional comfort factor to knowing what is causing us to feel depressed or have other symptoms. Once we learn to recognize these symptoms and use them in our Migraine management, we gain a bit more control over Migraine. Any time we can do that, it's a positive move.

Coping with severe headaches and Migraine disease for over 40 years has brought me to the realization that learning about Migraine disease and headaches can allow us to work with our doctors as treatment partners to gain control over headaches and Migraines rather than them controlling us.
