5. I was told these are a precursor to the actual migrane.

So what I do when I get them is to put an ice pack on the back of my neck and sometimes on my forehead top of head etc...
moving the second ice pack around.

Because the thought is this gives you some time to pull back, relax and prevent the migraine from happening.

But if in all these years you have never gone to the headache, but they symptoms are prolonged...

Prolonged auras are usually associated with hemiplegic migraine
Symptoms

Severe, throbbing pain, often on one side of your head.
A pins-and-needles feeling, often moving from your hand up your arm.
Numbness on one side of your body, which can include your arm, leg, and half of your face.
Weakness or paralysis on one side of your body.
Loss of balance and coordination.



My gut instinct says to have doctors look for anything that would affect only one side of your body.

A spot you got hit from a baseball, maybe a blood clot there.

Any stroke you may have had.

Any blockages on one side of your body.


If you have muscle tension, does it tend to be tighter on right or left side?

Tight muscles block blood flow. Stretching brings the blood back in balance.
