Silent Migraines and Anxiety: What Is A Silent Migraine?

A silent or phantom migraine is a rare type that happens without the usual head pain or headache phase, like a classic migraine.

Warning Signs

Migraines can make you see things differently, feel sick, and become more sensitive to light and sound before the headache starts.

Migraines are more common in women than men and generally occur suddenly without warning. Painless migraines in older people tend to be more prevalent as well.

What causes painless migraines? We are unsure about the exact cause of silent migraines. However, research indicates that changes in blood flow or chemicals in the brain could be related to it.

Certain lifestyle factors like family history, stress, lack of sleep, medications, and food allergies can trigger these migraines. Typically, it endures between 20 minutes and 60 minutes.
