Symptom 6: Fatigue and Weakness
Fatigue and weakness are common symptoms experienced before, during, and after a migraine attack. This lack of energy can make it challenging to perform daily tasks and may lead to feelings of frustration and helplessness.
Migraine-related fatigue may result from the body’s response to pain, sleep disturbances, and the release of chemicals in the brain that affect energy levels. It’s essential to recognize fatigue as a potential warning sign of an impending migraine attack and take appropriate action to manage the episode.
Getting adequate sleep, maintaining a regular sleep schedule, and practicing good sleep hygiene can help reduce fatigue and improve overall well-being. During a migraine attack, try to rest and engage in low-energy activities like gentle stretching or deep breathing exercises. (6)
