Why does a migraine affect your senses?

Every time I get a migraine, it kills my sight, my hearing and my nose starts running… along with some more obvious migraine symptoms/ side effects. I am wondering why it messed with the senses.

Answer #1

Migraine is in your brain. Your senses are sight/hearing are cabled to your brain by nerves. They send input to the brain. The brain interprets and makes sense of the signals it gets from your senses.

So when you have a migraine attack, your brain is way to busy with agony. And it doesn’t even bother to make any sense of what comes in by your visual nerve and audio nerve. It just can’t process the input correctly while the migraine attack is on.

Answer #2

makes sense…. thanks a bunch
