Some symptoms: Auras can include several minutes of bright spots before eyes, loss of vision to one side, problems with numbness and speech expression. Headache itself is unilateral, throbbing, associated with nausea and/or vomiting, sensitivity to light and noise, duration of headache about 4-6 hrs or longer.
