What is ‘aura’ before a migraine?

Have you ever experienced a strange light, an unpleasant smell, confusing thoughts or experiences before a migraine?

If yes, then you may have experienced ‘aura’. An aura is a perceptual disturbance experienced by some migraine sufferers before a migraine headache.

‘Aura’ can occur from a few seconds up to an hour before the migraine and it can stay with a migraine sufferer for the duration of the migraine; depending on the type of aura, this can leave the person disoriented and confused.
