What Causes Chills, Fever And Blurred Vision While Suffering From Migraine?
Question: hi, just wondering, can a migraine involve temperatures ? i had a migraine yesterday, started off as a sick feeling then felt as if someone was stabbing me in the back of my head. then today i slept all day and my vision was blurry. i had the chills and a feaver. whats also the strongest medication i can take for a migraine? also, can syringomyelia cause migraines? could possibly food cause migraines as well? thank you.
Brief Answer:
Migraine doesn't involve temperature
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Migraine headaches don't involve temperature, on the other hand, conditions that may cause fever may cause headaches too.
These conditions include mainly infections (common flu, urinary infections, upper respiratory ways infections, etc.).
There are some foods that may trigger a migraine but don't cause a migraine in people that don't suffer from it (aged cheese, salty foods, and processed foods).
Syringomyelia may cause another type of headaches or may worsen the existing migraines.
Triptans are among the drugs that may control a migraine.
If you suffer from more than 3 migraine headaches in a month, preventive medication (propranolol, Topamax, antidepressants) may be used.
Discuss with your doctor about these issues and get evaluated further for a possible infection.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

thanks so much for your answer. my son had a 24 hour virus thing at the start of the week so im wondering if i caught something from him. i feel much better today. and perhaps had a migraine ontop of the virus or the virus enhanced a migraine if that makes sense. i have my visit with the neurologist on monday for the syringomyelia. should i mention the reaccuring migraines to him?
Brief Answer:
Viral infections may contribute to headaches.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Common viral infections may cause headaches, and may also trigger preexisting migraines.
Of course, you should mention to your Neurologist the recurring migraines and all the information necessary for a complete evaluation.
