Migraine symptoms?

I sometimes get relatively mild migraineattacks , I can usually tell when one is about to occur as my eyesight goes all twirly around the outer perimeter along with a dull a dull all over headache, if I take 2 Migraleve tablets straight away, it usually stop it happening.
However, last Friday morning I awoke with a headache ( not drink related), and my vision and Co ordination was all over the place, I also had on 2 occasions a weakness in my left arm from the elbow downwards , it felt very weak and uncoordinated, I still have these symptoms 2 days later, but not so strongly, are these common symptoms suffered by others?

  1. Hi
    I hear how alarming this is and hope by now you're feeling a bit better. While it's not uncommon for our migraine symptoms and/or patterns to change over time, it's always a good idea to let the doctor know when this happens so they can make sure everything checks out OK. I would encourage you to reach out to your doctor.
    Migraine with aura can have loads of symptoms including visual disturbances, muscle weakness, and more. You can read more about migraine with aura here; https://migraine.com/search?s=migraine%20with%20aura
    I'm sure others will be along shortly to share their experiences with you and please keep us posted on how you are doing, Nancy Harris Bonk, Patient Leader/Moderator (team member)
