But there are things that can be done to be able to diagnose migraine without headache correctly.

Migraines are often though as always accompanied by head splitting pain. But there are migraines without headaches, also called as silent migraines. This is a common migraine type although it is not very popular. It is often triggered by stress, lack of sleep, alcohol, among plenty of others. It is also known as the migraine aura but without headache. Interestingly, silent migraine usually takes place later in life. Men are also more prone to experience it than women. Migraine aura pertains to other symptoms that go along with migraine, usually referring to visual problems due to migraines. These include seeing zig zag lines, flashing lights, dizziness and vertigo. There are actually a lot of possible symptoms that can hit a person such as slurred speech, numbness, acute pain in different parts of the body like in the face or on the skin. Normally, these are more acute than in other types of migraine. Since silent migraine is not accompanied by headaches, it can be very hard to diagnose. Often times, it is misdiagnosed. This is aggravated by the misconception that migraines only occur with headaches. There are times that instead of silent headache, hypoglycemia, inner ear disorders fibromyalgia and other conditions are diagnosed instead of silent migraine. However, the problem with migraines without headaches is that to be able to actually diagnose it, other conditions and disorders have to be ruled out. Symptoms are also not that particularly helpful. For example, having something wrong with the vision can also be because of some eye conditions. But the important thing is that the possibility of a condition being a silent migraine should always be kept.

It has to be remembered that migraine is a disease that can be passed on from one member of a family to the next one. Cases of migraines in relatives and other similar looking cases can lead to diagnosis of silent migraine. Without an accurate and thorough family history, a doctor may not suspect that silent migraine may possibly be the culprit. Another thing to do is to observe the symptoms and other things related to the condition. It is best if to be able to describe the situation and symptoms to the doctor. Even the seemingly mundane and small things like irritability and euphoria, yawning, stiff neck can be things that should be included in the session with a specialist such as a doctor. It is best to write these things down in a daily diary of sorts.
