It is preceded by and sometime accompanied by nausea or vomiting, itching in the limbs sometime flashes of light and the unusual blind spots in the vision. There are many triggering factors which triggers the headache. The triggering factors include flash of light, sound, stress, sometimes the food will also trigger the headaches also smoking and alcohol are also factors which trigger the headache. There is no test which confirm the migraine headache however we have to rule out certain organic structural factors which are responsible for headache before labeling it has a Migraine headache. MRI, CT scan are Very important investigation to rule out structural lesions like, Tumor, infection, bleeding and other organic structural problems. LP (Lumbar Puncture) with the CSF analysis is also useful to exclude infection and bleeding problems. MR Venography source there is a transverse sinus abnormality in 50% of cases however in remaining 50% of cases MRV is normal. So normal MRV does not exclude the diagnosis of migraine headache.

I have nausea and light sensitivity. I do not think it is migraine but a form of vertigo. Its triggered by lights. Headache very rare. No painkiller or triptan work.

Good video! I've suffered migraines for many years. A few days ago I had a very painful migraine and I'd ran out of my summatriptan pills. Once I got the pills and took 1, it went away. I have Glaucoma and wasn't taking my Amitriptyline since I read it wouldn't be good. But I been taking the Amitriptyline again for several days. I haven't had another migraine yet but I been sleeping a lot and I been more depressed. I have more of a lack of motivation than ever. Should I stop taking the Amitriptyline at the low dosage of 25mg tab per evening?

Not useful. Regardless of what he supposedly knows his pronunciation is dreadful, I had to replay a few parts as I tried to understand what he was saying but then just gave up.
