Think you're having all the symptoms of a migraine without headache? This may seem unlikely as medical practitioners define migraines as a throbbing and pulsating type of headache.
But is it really possible to have a migraine without a headache? Theanswer is YES! It is absolutely possible and it is what is called a silent migraine.
This type of migraine does not have a headache as one of its symptom.
That may seem like a contradiction in the definition but a silent migraine is a real phenomenon.
The four phases of migraine

1. The first phase is the prodrome.
   This is your warning that a migraine is attacking.
   This phase changes your mental state and may become highly irritable.
   
2. The second phase is the aura and this is an unusual visual symptom and this lasts for an hour.
   
3. The headache pain is the third phase and you may feel this as a throbbing and pulsating sensation on one side of your head.
   
4. The last phase is the resolution where you can suffer from deep fatigue and a general feeling of malaise for 24 hours after the pain.
   

Bear in mind, not all migraines follow these four phases.
Some people don't get any warning that a migraine is coming; they skip the prodome phase.
Occasionally there are some migraines without headache and some with headache.
There are also migraines with or without aura.
This is the case for me.
I skip the aura phase.
Migraines vary from one person to another and it can be very unpredictable.
