Migraine is more than a bad headache.
NINDS describes migraine attacks that may include nausea, sensory sensitivity, mood or energy changes, visual or speech symptoms, and dizziness. Some people can experience migraine symptoms without a headache.
A useful history records timing, duration, headache features, sensitivity to light or sound, nausea, hearing symptoms, triggers, medicines, and the effect on function.
Dizziness still requires careful evaluation for other causes.
Balance symptoms can come from different parts of the vestibular system, brain, circulation, medicines, or other conditions. A clinician uses the history and examination to decide what testing or referral is appropriate.
Sudden dizziness with weakness, speech difficulty, facial droop, severe imbalance, or another stroke warning sign warrants calling 911.
