Migraine causing sore throat and stiff neck?

Hello, I'm currently dealing with another migraine that started yesterday around noon. I've got pain from my eye to the back of my head. It's not pleasant and hurts quite a lot, but before I had to go to bed early, I was mostly functional. I'm very light and sound sensitive and I woke up from an odd dream that I don't know if my migraine triggered or if it came on its own. My throat and my neck hurt quite a lot and this happens every time I have migraine episodes.

Does anyone else have any of these happen or is it just me?

  1. Each person is unique and it's definitely a good idea to check with your doctor about any symptoms that are new or worrisome. That said, light/sound sensitivity, head pain, neck pain and even weird dreams have been mentioned here on the community pretty frequently. So it's not just you -- though I'm sure that doesn't make it any easier. Hope that gives you some insight. -Melissa, team member
