Does anyone also experience very tight muscles on the side with migraine. Like tight knots that start in shoulder and travel down back. Even causing nausea.

Muscle tension, on side of the headache. Travels from shoulder to butt.

  1. Hello , I'm sorry to hear that you're dealing with this. During a migraine attack people do sometimes experience muscle tension, although typically it's in reference to the head, neck, and shoulders, like with tension headaches, https://migraine.com/headache-types/tension-headaches. I hope some of our community members here can share any personal experiences they have with this type of muscle tension. Have you ever had a chance to speak with your doctor about this? -- Warmly, Christine (Team Member)
