Symptoms of Complex Migraines

Complex migraines have been known to be mistaken for strokes because they share similar indicators. Stroke symptoms, however, last for about 24 hours, whereas a migraine's duration typically spans 4 to 12 hours.

  1. Cold

    • Your hands or feet can become cold when you have a complex migraine.

    Weakness

    • Such migraines drain you of energy and leave you feeling lethargic.

    Numbness

    • Your extremities or the side of your face may go numb from the headache.

    Blindness

    • Some people are temporarily blinded by complex migraines, or their vision becomes clouded.

    Dizziness

    • Feeling lightheaded or dizzy is a common migraine symptom.

    Nausea

    • Complex migraines cause nausea or feeling sick to your stomach if you are around strong smells.
