Can someone tell me if this is a migraine and if anyone has any similar symptoms. Woke up yesterday morning with pain at the base of my skull/neck. Tried to ice it a little while getting ready for work. Pain traveled to my head by the time I got to work. Mainly on my left side but somewhat all over too. I felt unbalanced all day, unsteady. Neck felt stiff. When I stood up to greet customers I would hold on to the desk to steady myself. One time I moved my head too fast to the right and got a terrible head rush had to grab the desk to not fall over. Felt like I could have passed out, but didn’t thank goodness. Couldn’t focus my eyes and had some vision disturbances like the light on my phone part of it was off or blurry. Felt tired and in a fog, couldn’t think as quickly as I usually do, like couldn’t focus. Very very tired and just wanted to sleep but had to work. Does this seem like a migraine? I’ve had these before and sometimes I do have lights in my eyes either before or during headache, kind of a halo of lights in one eye or sometimes just blurred vision. Then sometimes I get the pain with no eye problems. The unbalanced/unsteady feelings almost always comes with it and lasts all day. The feeling faint/head rush is the most scary symptom for me and it sometimes will happen before the headache starts and sometimes during the headache, I’m also on my period now, so my hormones are all over the place! Thanks for any insight,
