Gabby,

 

During a Migraine, levels of neurotransmitters such as serotonin and norepinephrine are impacted. This can cause some people to have some pretty serious "mood" problems. The only time in my entire life I've ever had a panic attack is during a Migraine.

 

Sometimes, seizures have been caused by a Migraine aura, but that's not very common.

 

One thing I'd advise is to work with your doctor to be very sure that these symptoms aren't from something else. It can be very easy to attribute symptoms to Migraine when, in fact, they're from another comorbid condition. Comorbid conditions are those that occur at the same time, but neither causes the other.

 

If your doctor isn't able to help you, it may well be time to consult a Migraine and headache specialist. It's important to note that neurologists aren't necessarily Migraine and headache specialists. Take a look at the article Migraine and Headache Specialists - What's So Special? If you need help finding a Migraine specialist, check our listing of Patient Recommended Migraine and Headache Specialists.

 

If you'd like to talk with other Migraineurs and get some additional information and support, come join our discussion forum. You'll need to register again once there because it's a separate membership database, but you can use the same member name, email address, and password that you used here. You can find our forum at http://forums.healthcentral.com/discussion/migraine/forums.

 

Please keep  in touch and let me know how things go for you?

 

Good luck,

Teri
