Diagnosis: There are certain diagnostic criteria for migraine that you may have leading to that diagnosis. They are at least 5 previous headaches that are moderate to sever, lasting 4-72 hours, possibly one sided and have the features of nausea, sensitivity to light, sound and odors. Not all of these are necessary to make the diagnosis.
