What happens to your brain during a migraine - Marianne Schwarz?

Your brain goes through a big messy dance during a migraine, and it’s not happy about it.

Imagine your brain is like a party that starts with everyone dancing nicely together. But then, some loud music plays, maybe even a little bit of confetti gets thrown around, and suddenly everything gets chaotic. That's kind of what happens in your brain during a migraine.

Your brain has special messages called nerve signals, which help it work properly. During a migraine, these messages get all mixed up, like when you try to read a book, but someone keeps shouting at you from across the room!

Sometimes your brain gets too excited or too tired, and that makes the messy dance even worse. You might feel like your head is full of bubbles that pop one after another, or maybe it feels like something is squeezing your head really tight.

This messy dance can make you feel sleepy, grumpy, or even dizzy, just like when you’re tired from playing too long in the park. But once the party calms down, everything goes back to normal, and you can play again! Your brain goes through a big messy dance during a migraine, and it’s not happy about it.
