Migraine is different. The pain usually begins as a dull ache on one side of the head, often at the temple. The dull ache then becomes a pounding throb, lasting hours - or even days. Sometimes the pain will get worse with movement. If you suspect that you have migraine, talk with your doctor, nurse or pharmacist.
Symptoms vary from person to person and from one episode to another.
There are also two different types of migraine. The other, more common type of migraine occurs without an aura. The aura occurs from 20 minutes to an hour before the head pain, though it can also start after the head pain has begun. It usually lasts from 10 to 30 minutes. However, some may experience other symptoms as musch as a day before the head pain starts.
