Migraine without headaches: Vertigo migraine?

„How can I get a vestibular migraine Do I have to have a headache if I don’t have one?“ – We hear this question frequently in practice.

What you need to know about the connection:

• Headaches are not a must: Studies show that around a third of all those affected have no classic headaches at all during the attacks – a slight pressure on the head is enough to be completely relieved!
• Neither a requirement nor an exclusion: headaches are not a fixed diagnostic criterion – and their absence does not in any way rule out vestibular migraines.
• Dizziness is at the center of the issue: In migraine with aura, the episodic dizziness is the primary symptom of the disease.
• Where the term „migraine“ comes from: The word refers to the typically episodic nature and pronounced sensitivity to stimuli (light, noise, smells, and movement) that forces the affected person into a quiet, dark room.
