Show Notes
The stages (or phases) of migraine are important to understand because when we’re talking about vestibular migraine a lot of people say they feel symptomatic all the time.
That’s not only very possible with VM—it’s also vital to know which phase you’re in so you know how to treat it.
Each of the 5 phases of migraine can last different amounts of time and need to be treated differently.
In this episode, we’ll dig into:
Symptoms of vestibular migraine
How long to track VM symptoms
What the 4 phases of a vestibular migraine are
What to know about the overlooked 5th phase of VM
How to treat the different stages of a vestibular migraine
Everyone experiences the stages of VM differently. Give yourself time and space to start noticing what’s going on with your body and your unique rhythm.
Writing down (tracking) your symptoms is a necessary step to understanding how you experience the stages of migraine and makes treatment much easier!
