   Hi Kim!

   I have not experienced specifically shortness of breath when climbing stairs during a migraine, but an overall tiredness comes over me during some attacks. It looks like you’ve already gotten great feedback from those who’ve shared your experience. I will say in my experience that Migraine can cause a very high level of exhaustion, to where physical activity that we usually do can become quite challenging. I wanted to share a few articles with you about Migraine and fatigue that I thought you might be interested in checking out:

   Take care!

   Yes yes yes to the peeing, The warning sign I get with every migraine. I have to pee constantly, it’s completely clear no matter if I drink tons of water or not, so it causes me to become dehydrated. I have tried to drink over 3 gallons of water/tea but it doesn’t stop the dehydration.

   I get short of breath on the bad ones, any physical activity at all is extremely hard. If I push I get black spots and probably would faint if I pushed harder. Now I just lay on the couch/bed and sleep for the few days.

   I have this on my list of questions for my next doctors visit so can’t help besides saying I get the same things. I do have most likely som thing else going on as I get severe joint pain and other symptoms that come in between migraines but we haven’t figured out what it is.
