Having to poop or having diarrhea when you have a migraine is often due to the impact of migraines that have on your gut-brain connection and also other factors like increased gut permeability, inflammation and serotonin.
Migraines can also affect your digestive system and cause diarrhea, vomiting and nausea.
Children are more likely to have abdominal migraines with stomach pain and diarrhea but adults and anyone of any age can also get diarrhea and headaches as well as stomach pain with the migraines.
Cluster migraines hurt on one side of the head and often around or behind your eye.
Cluster migraines or cluster headaches often cause intense sharp pain which occurs on one side of your head, which is often around or behind your eye.
The cluster migraine pain can also radiate to other areas like your forehead as well as your temple, cheek and jaw on the same side.
The pain from a cluster migraine is often described as burning, stabbing or boring pain.
The symptoms of a nerve migraine are throbbing or pulsing pain that occurs on one or both sides of your head as well as sensitivity to light and sound as well as nausea and sometimes you may also have visual disturbances like seeing flashing lights and may also have blind spots with a nerve migraine.

Nerve migraines can refer to several types of headaches which involve nerve pain.
A type of migraine that mimics seizures are hemiplegic migraines and most particularly familial hemiplegic migraines.
Hemiplegic migraines like familial hemiplegic migraines can easily mimic seizures.
The hemiplegic migraines cause motor auras like weakness or paralysis on one side of your body, which can be mistaken for a seizure or a stroke.
In addition, migraines with aura, and especially those that have complex or prolonged auras, can even sometimes trigger seizures which is a condition called migralepsy.
Hemiplegic migraines can be difficult to distinguish from other conditions, especially in cases where someone also experiences other migraine symptoms such as headache, vomiting or nausea.
Familial hemiplegic migraines are rare and are an inherited form of migraine with aura which can manifest with neurologicla symptoms that are indistinguishable from seizure or stroke.
And in some cases a migraine aura which is a period of neurological symptoms preceding a headache can also trigger a seizure and most particularly in people with a predisposition to seizures and is known as migralepsy.
Seizures that are triggered by a migraine aura can be difficult to distinguish from seizures caused by epilepsy.
Vestibular migraines can also cause vertigo and may sometimes mimic seizures but it's not often associated with seizures.
A vestibular migraine is a migraine which mainly manifests with vertigo which is a sensation of movement or spinning and also balance problems, often without a headache.
Vestibular migraines are characterized by repeated episodes of vertigo or dizziness which can last from minutes to even days.
Vestibular migraines may even be triggered by movement of the head and other factors.
The main symptom of a vestibular migraine is a feeling of moving or spinning or being off balance, even when you're stationary.
And unlike normal migraines a vestibular migraine can occur without an actual headache.
However in some cases a headache may occur with a vestibular migraine but not always.
The vertigo attacks with a vestibular migraine can last from a few minutes to several days.
Triggers of a vestibular migraine include movement of your head, stress, certain foods, changes in your sleep patterns, hormonal fluctuations including from menstruation.
Other symptoms of a vestibular migraine aside from vertigo include vomiting, nausea, sensitivity to light and sound as well as visual disturbances such as flashing lights and changes in your hearing.
Like other migraines, vestibular migraines often progress through 4 stages which include prodrome, aura, attack and postdrome.
The prodrome stage of the vestibular migraine involves warning signs before the migraine.
And aura, if present can involve visual or sensory changes and the attack stage of the vestibular migraine is characterized by the main migraine symptoms which include headache and vestibular symptoms.
And finally, postdrome stage involves a feeling of exhaustion or other lingering symptoms after the migraine.
