What symptoms are common with migraines that affect sensitivity and anxiety?

Migraine attacks can cause multiple types of sensitivity symptoms. During an attack, you may experience increased sensitivity to touch, particularly around your scalp and head area. Your eyes can become very sensitive to light (photophobia), causing discomfort and pain. Some people also experience watery or dry eyes during attacks. Anxiety and migraines often go hand in hand. People with migraines commonly experience anxiety, which can create a difficult cycle - anxiety about when the next migraine might occur can increase stress, which in turn can trigger more migraines.

Common triggers that can worsen both migraine symptoms and anxiety include:
• Stress
• Poor sleep
• Loud noises
• Changes in weather
• Bright or flashing lights
