- Aura – this is a group of symptoms that may happen before a migrainous headache/attack.
- Common aura symptoms may include:
- Visual disturbances such as zig zag lines, flashing lights, shimmering or flickering spots, or even blind spots.
- Sensory disturbances such as olfactory hallucinations (experiencing a smell that isn’t there); numbness affecting the face, arms or legs; rarely weakness down one side of the body or speech disturbances. Anyone who experiences these symptoms for the first time should seek emergency medical attention as it could be a stroke.
