Yes, my main symptoms are dizziness, off balance and nausea. I also take Xanax for anxiety. I know we are all different and have different triggers. For me I have to get enough sleep nightly, NO caffeine, and do what I can to reduce stress. Believe me I know the stress is a tough one!
I hope this helps! I realize this is a late post.
Have things gotten better for you?

Squarley, have you ever had these pains before? I definitely have woken up feeling like that!

How many days a week are you taking pain meds? If you take the pain meds for too long you could risk getting a medication rebound headache which is not fun. Definitely talk to your doctor if this is new, or if you are still not feeling better. If you have a migraine for over 72 hours you DEFINITELY should see a doc. Similar to BNB1980 I suffer from chronic migraines so I have them everyday.

I hope you feel better soon!
