Boom. Migraines are almost an obsession of mine because they truly impacted my life for many, many, years.

Many believe they have a sinus headache because the swelling also involves a nasal passage as well as only one side of the brain. Some people have a visual aura, flashing lights, tunnel vision etc. and some have a taste aura, and some have a smell aura. My daughter would have tunnel vision before these very infrequent "after stress" headaches. I remember driving like a maniac down I75 to Childrens Hospital one time after she had returned from a week at Girl Scout Camp. (stressful for her) because she was having tunnel vision. I thought she was having some brain related thing, a burst aneurism or a stroke.
