Can oncoming migraines days in advance make you dizzy or feel off balance for a few seconds?

It's possible.: But low blood pressure, low sugar, vertigo, anxiety and panic attack can do it too. Take care!

Migrainous vertigo: Many people with migraine suffer from vertigo and feel somewhat off balance in between attacks. Migraine preventative medications may help with this.
