I had regular headaches as a kid too but they kinda completely went away after I got migraines (not sure if exactly then, or shortly after). Now it's just migraines, which I usually feel coming when my stomach starts to turn and the eye pressure kicks in. Luckily, pain meds like Ibuprofen work fairly well for me.
lol mine went away too. i had a good 5 or so years with no issues at all until the migraines started. luckily they're very infrequent so i can't complain.
kinda funny your stomach starts turning as an indicator. it's so weird how different things are connected—especially when it comes to our brains.
It's actually a fairly common symptom of migraines, along with the pressure pain on one eye, since migraines itself are also usually on one side of the brain (the pain can spread though).
I think me suffering from migraines also makes me sensitive to certain light (flashes, specific colors like red light is really triggering, etc), somewhat similar to those with epilepsy, except that I don't end up with a seizure.
Yeah, i don't go watch fireworks anymore because they hurt these days.
