Migraines can be associated with dizziness. Ordinary migraines are most commonly associated with episodes of frontal, temporal, top of the head or posterior occipital swelling and throbbing pain during the attack, but sometimes they are also associated with a dizzying sinking sensation, more often in the frontal and posterior occipital areas, with dizziness without visual rotation. There is a specific type of migraine called basilar migraine, which is a migraine attack accompanied by symptoms of brainstem nerve dysfunction. Patients may experience vertigo, visual rotation, ataxia, and often dysarthria, tinnitus, and visual abnormalities, sometimes even total blindness, and some patients may have abnormal sensation in the extremities with numbness at the ends of the limbs. This symptom is clearly related to the headache, and most of the symptoms can be relieved after the headache is relieved.
