I have been having migraines since 2005. I learned of this when I had to go to the ER because I thought I was having a stroke. They took me in right away. They had told me that I had what they call a “complicated migraine” which mimicked the signs of a stroke.
Since then, I have had migraines. I have changed my diet to a certain degree of what not too eat and drink. I seem to have weather migraines when the weather approaches when we are having a bad storm. Due to the pressure dropping. Or when it changes during the seasons. I just had a migraine Monday, afternoon and it was finally over when the rain stopped. I have not felt that bad in a very long time.
Does any one have headaches when the weather changes?

"I had my first migraine when I was 12. I thought I was going blind, the spots in my vision all grouped together and everything went black. The pain was intense and felt like my head would crack open above my right eye."

Yes, my migraines are definitely weather related. When I see that big L on the weather map, I tell my husband it means Liz will get headache!
Does anyone use heating pad for relief? That and Fiorocet are the only things that help but I’m worried that I may be causing damage from overuse of heating pad.
Yes, I too get migraines before a storm, and during season changes mid-may through june and mid-september through mid-october. My migraines ALSO started right after I was diagnosed with Supraventricular Tachycardia. Verapamil, a calcium channel blocker, prevents the palpitations and episodes. I also have another minor cardiac arrythmia called premature atrial contractions. Digoxin prevents that and works well. Because of these conditions, there isn’t a single migraine abortive medicine safe enough to take. If you are taking them, that could be causing your SVT symptoms. I take lamactil twice a day to prevent near daily migraines. Good luck!!
