3. Sensitivity to Light
Here’s a symptom of migraines that people generally do not experience when they are going through the symptoms of a regular old headache – if you have a migraine instead, the first symptom that will distinguish the two for many people (and one that you should look for first when it comes to your own symptoms) is a sudden sensitivity to light: This means that the symptoms of a migraine headache are made much worse by exposure to any kind of light, whether natural or artificial.
People who experience the symptoms of migraines on a regular basis can benefit hugely from carrying around sunglasses which adapt to their exposure to light – you will feel much better and it might decrease the number of migraines you suffer from in the first place. One of the first things that you can do is to close off all light sources and prevent exposure that will just worsen your migraine.
