Migraines, Headaches, Vomiting, Nausea, Sleeplessness, Pressure Sensation. Does It Raise Concerns?

I have been experiencing a migraine aura quite frequently in the last couple of months. I had one last night and another about an hour ago. It does not develope into a headache but I do have a pressure feeling a the back of my head. I have suffered from Migraine since a was a little girl and use to go through all the symptoms before the headache and vomiting. The last few years it has been more of an intense 4 hour thing building to a peak then once I have been sick it seems to settle with a sleep. However these aura's are new in the fact of frequency and no headache or nausea. Should i be concerned?

Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.

It is most likely that you still have migraines with aura. However, since these auras are new, it may be better to do a brain scan to exclude any internal brain problem.

Also, it may be a good idea to start preventive treatment of migraine, to reduce the severity and frequency of migraine episodes.
I hope it helps. Please get back if you require any additional information.

Wishing you good health,
