Why have my migraines changed?

For almost my entire life I've had bad migraines as often as once or twice a week. Recently, though, they've changed. I still get the initial pain of the migraine, but after a short while the pain fades away. This would be a great improvement except that the other symptoms stick around. I usually have nausea, light sensitivity, and am dizzy or light-headed when I have a migraine. Now, all of these symptoms stick around for a day or two after the pain leaves with my new "migraines"(which is how long my migraines used to last). I'm thrilled to be rid of the pain, but in the past my symptoms all went away when the pain did, and this is really unpleasant. If it matters, I haven't changed anything about the way I treat my migraines. I take some Excedrin, eat something, and apply heat to my neck and head.

Any other migraine sufferers going through something similar? I'm planning on going to a doctor about this, but I'd like to hear other people's experiences.

Have you given up alcohole?
Are you consuming sweet or natural food? If yes it has treated your acidity.
our body constitution changes agewise.
pl see what suits you.
If you are in cold country use all warm things.
Pl try cold water bath and observe if in hot country, if pain increases use warm.
If you have cough/cold body hot water bath will help.
Massage and exercise in front of morning sun is good thing, pl try.
Pl try simple acupressure given below for immediate relief.
If it fails you will have to go for Acupuncture.

There is hardly any medicine for H/A OR MIGRAINE. Not only these but for RA, OA, Back ache, Ear ache/ringing, Stomach ache and almost all painful diseases. Hence they become chronic.

Acidity, WORRY, sadness, excessive wind, cold , heat, sour food and sinusitis, constipation, intestinal inflammation; drug side effects, stress, bad smell, TV & COMPUTER SOMETIMES, Blockage in the flow of Vital Energy, BODY CONSTITUTION etc are their causes.
None of them can be treated with medicine.
Our 100% success in treating migraine &H/A confirms it.

Acupuncture is the best treatment.
I can treat it with naturopathy and YOG, but how can you manage pl see.

Pain killers don't treat the pain but we loose the sense of pain for some time; in that duration our body itself treats sometime and credit goes to meds.
The useless drugs have tremendous power of side effects like liver/kidney failures, ulcer, inflammation of intestines and lot more.

Avoid late sleeping if possible; worry, tension, spicy foods, sour fruits, stale bakery foods, SMOKING and alcohole.

Sweet foods, COCOANUT WATER,sweet fruits like dates, milk, rice, SPROUTS, SALADS and good sleep will help if cough is not there.

But you try one herbal remedy- two drops of drumstick leaves' juice in opposite nostril if one side pains and both nostrils if full H/A will give you rescue. Betel leaf helps but it is very strong.

If it is acute pl search a painful point (with round tipped pen/jimmy) 3-6 mm behind your thumb nail and press it, H/A will disappear within 30 seconds.

For forehead/eye pain the points are in front of nails on the finger tips or 3-7 mm below.

It may disappear naturally too.

I suffered with migraines for years, with many of the same symptoms you talk about. One day, mine stopped but the symptoms got worse. As time went by, my eyes got really bad, I developed double vision, and eventually I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. My neuro said that the migraines were a preclude to the MS. I hope that isn't the case with you. This is just my story about my migraines.
