A prodrome (group of symptoms that precedes a condition) can occur in the days prior to migraine. Symptoms of this prodrome can include depression, food cravings, yawning, neck stiffness, hyperactivity, irritability, confusion, diarrhea, or constipation.
A migraine is made up of several symptoms. The main symptom is a headache that lasts anything from a few hours up to a few days. The headache is usually moderate or severe and is often just on one side of the head and a throbbing pain. It can also be made worse by physical activity. Other symptoms include nausea and sickness, and sensitivity to light or sound. Approximately 10% of people with migraine experience unusual symptoms (called an aura) that affect vision, physical sensations, or speech.
