Sometimes a specific injury can produce numbness or tingling, such as an injured nerve in your neck or a herniated disk in your spine. Placing pressure on a nerve is a common cause. Carpal tunnel syndrome, scar tissue, enlarged blood vessels, infection, or a tumor can all place pressure on a nerve.
The symptoms will vary from person to person and individuals may have different symptoms during different attacks. Your attacks may differ in length and frequency. Migraine attacks usually last from 4 to 72 hours and most people are free from symptoms between attacks.
When migraine symptoms begin, acute treatment is designed to quickly relieve the pain and migraine symptoms. Ideally, these medications should consistently ease symptoms and keep them away for at least 24 hours. Side effects of the treatment are also a concern and will help determine which medication is best for you.
