Two main types of migraine
from

  Migraine without aura [common migraine]
from

  This is the most common type of migraine. Symptoms include headache on one side of the head, as well as other symptoms such as vomiting, nausea, and sensitivity to light and noise. Sometimes, the following symptoms may also occur: blurred vision, abdominal pain, pale, diarrhea and tenderness of the scalp.

Migraine [classic migraine]
from

  Twenty-five percent of migraine sufferers have a migraine headache. The symptoms are the same as those of a normal migraine; however, it includes a halo or sign before the onset of pain. The most common type of halo is the visual aura. For example, flashing, temporarily losing sight and apparently rotating objects. Other types of halos are numbness, verbal problems and food cravings in certain parts of the body. Auras usually occur a few minutes before a headache. But sometimes, there is no headache.

Rare migraine type

Abdominal migraine
from

  This type of migraine is very common in children. They experienced abdominal pain that lasted for hours instead of some headaches. In this case, mild headache may occur with nausea, vomiting or certain types of aura. Children with abdominal migraine may also develop common migraine headaches during adolescence.

Menstrual migraine
from

  The symptoms are the same as normal and classic migraine. There are two types of menstrual migraine: pure menstrual migraine and menstrual-related migraine. Pure menstrual migraine occurs only during menstruation, while menstrual-related migraine occurs during the cycle and may occur at other times of the month.

Basal migraine
from

  Pain in the back of the head accompanied by aura symptoms including temporary blindness, dizziness, tinnitus, hearing loss and dizziness. It is worth noting that if you have such a migraine, the risk of stroke is high.

Hemiplegia
from

  Severe headaches are accompanied by weakness on one side of the body and can last for hours or days. For this reason, it is sometimes confused with stroke. Other symptoms include visual and auditory problems, difficulty speaking and swallowing, double vision and severe dizziness.

Eye migraine
from

  It is also known as ocular migraine or retinal migraine. People with ocular migraine experience temporary vision loss in one eye. Vision returned to normal after the attack. This type of migraine can be accompanied with or without headache.

Now that we have discussed the basics, it is now your turn to think carefully about what you have learned and to find the right treatment for your condition. It is really worthwhile to do some research on anything related to the body.
