Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
During the attacks of migraine, there is increased blood supply to brain and scalp region. So, a person with migraine may get a swelling due to increased vascularity of the tissue. There is no need to worry about them.
You need preventive migraine therapy to reduce the severity and frequency of migraine headaches.

Please get back if you require any additional information.

Best wishes,
