Migraine

I have already made the appointment, but seeing how it is a month away I figured I may as well get some insight. I have occular migraines, where before I get a migraine my blind spot becomes exceptionally huge and I can hardley see straight ahead. I get them atleast once a week, and about 75% of the time my Imitrex works to stop the pain. Recently however, I have had a small headache everyday. It is not quite as bad as a rebound headache, but almost. If I bend over It gets really stabby like, and sometimes shoots across. Has anyone else had head pain like this accompany their migraines? Thanks.

I know that there's a general rule of thumb that says that if you bend over, and the headache worsens, it could be a sign that it's migraine. Many of us can claim worsening pain when bending over. Since it's new for you, be sure to bring it up with the doctor. You are keeping a list of notes/question in the meantime before your appointment, so you don't forget to ask, right?
