What are the symptoms of chronic migraine?

Symptoms of episodic migraine and chronic migraine are the same. The difference is simply the increase in frequency of the number of headaches. Typical migraine symptoms include:

  • Head pain that is moderate to severe in intensity, worsened by physical activity/movement
  • Pain on one or both sides of the head
  • Throbbing pain or pressure-like pain
  • Sensitivity to light, sound, smells
  • Nausea/vomiting
  • Dizziness

Signs an episodic migraine is transforming to a chronic migraine include:

  • Having a growing number of migraine attacks
  • Taking more medication because of the growing number of attacks
