Tremors

Does anyone else get generalized tremors/shaking with a migraine?


  1. Thank you for reaching out to us with your question. Shaking/tremors are not 'typical' migraine attack symptoms. Is this new and/or different? When we have new symptoms or patterns to our attacks it's always a good idea to let the doctor know so he/she can make sure everything checks out Ok. I'm sure others will be along shortly to share their experiences with you.
    Will you keep us posted? Nancy Harris Bonk, Patient Leader/Moderator Migraine.com Team

    1. Thanks for your quick response! Shaking/tremors aren't necessarily new for me, just seems like they are getting more pronounced. I can mention this to me headache specialist next time I see him. I'm interested if anyone else experiences shaking/tremors with their migraines as well. They usually only occur with the really bad ones.


      1. Thank you for getting back to me with more information. I wish I had something more to give you. How are you doing today? Nancy Harris Bonk, Patient Leader/Moderator Migraine.com Team

    2. Doing well. Thanks for asking. Last migraine with tremors was 2 weeks ago, so that's good.


      1. That is good! I hope this continues. Please keep me posted - Nancy Harris Bonk, Patient Leader/Moderator Migraine.com Team

      2. I'm not a doctor so this is absolutely conjecture on my part, but knowing that migraine is a neurological disease, it's good to keep in mind that any kind of weird physical symptoms could be possible in the right circumstances. I have other neurological issues and am prone to tremors during periods of illness or extreme stress. Maybe that's something that's a possibility with you? In any case, I echo Nancy and it can't hurt to bring it up with your team. Curious to hear what you learn, if anything. Best wishes!! -Melissa, migraine.com team

    3. Thanks for your reply and concern. Obviously tremors and/or shaking isn't a common manifestation of migraines due to lack of responses. I will certainly bring it up the next time I see the headache specialist.


      1. That sounds like a good plan. Will you let us know how you make out with the doctor? Wishing you a low pain day, Nancy Harris Bonk, Patient Leader/Moderator Migraine.com Team
