Why are my migraine headaches made worse by any form of movement, odors, and a few other things, but not sounds. my head is pounding if i move though

Too complex, varies: widely person to person. Migraine (meaning vascular) HA pain due to arteries in meninges enlarging as a result of BP (whatever it is) because person is not sending adequate orders from brain to artery wall muscles to adequately constrict & maintain size. The meningeal membranes are exquisitely sensitive to stretching, resulting in pain (often, not always, pulsing in sync with one's pulse).
