So I seem to get migraines whenever I start trying to lose weight. Mostly I just get the aura for half an hour and eventually it goes away and that's it (very rarely I get a bit of a headache). Today around 10:30am a migraine aura began - didn't think anything of it and assumed it would be gone in half an hour. It did go away as normal but then I got 3 more auras in the space of 5 hours - the last one caused pins and needles and numbness in my arm, hand and face and then the blinding headache came on. The headache lasted for a few hours which I slept off. I've now just got some tenderness in the area the headache was when I bend down or move quickly etc.
I've never ever experienced more than one aura in a row or even in a day and it was the worst headache I've had. Has anyone else experienced this? I can't work out from Google if it's normal for an aura to last for 5 hours! I don't like to waste the NHS's time so am I being unreasonable worrying about it and bothering my GP?
