Hi Krista!  

 

No one can diagnose you over the internet. You would need to see your doctor for a diagnosis.  

 

Although the symptoms you are describing could very well be  Migraine, it could also be a number of other things as well. Anatomy of a Migraine explains the phases and possible symptoms that a Migraineur may experience during a Migraine attack, such as ringing in the ears (tinnitus), phonophobia (sensitivity to sound), and photophobia (sensitivity to light). But, this can be symptoms to other things as well.  

 

If you HAVE been diagnosed with Migraine, and these are new symptoms you are experiencing - you need to call your doctor and report them. Any changes in pattern or symptoms needs to be reported.  

 

If you haven't already, please see your doctor.  

 

Good Luck!
