But during a migraine, these stimuli feel like an all-out assault. The result: The brain produces an outsize reaction to the trigger, its electrical system (mis)firing on all cylinders. This electrical activity causes a change in blood flow to the brain, which in turn affects the brain's nerves, causing pain.
Silent migraine symptomsWith silent migraine, you may experience: Moderate to severe aura symptoms, such as noticing strange smells, having numbness or tingling in the arms and neck, trouble hearing, weakness in arms, and loss of speech. Sensitivity to bright lights and/or loud noises.
Migraines cause serious pain. If you get them, you've probably wondered if they have a lasting effect on your brain. Research suggests that the answer is yes. Migraines can cause lesions, which are areas of damage to the brain.
Postdrome is actually part of the migraine attack itself. The profound changes in activity and blood flow that occur during the aura and head pain phase of the attack, persists even after the pain has ended.
Recovery or Postdrome stageThis is the final stage of an attack, and it can take hours or days for a drained, fatigued or 'hangover' type feeling to disappear. Symptoms can be similar to those of the first stage (premonitory). Often, they mirror these symptoms.

Sensory overload could be from an over-crowded room, screens, loud noises, bright lights, strong odors, or touch. People with migraine are often impacted by sensory overload due to their increased sensitivity to external stimuli.
Summary: People with migraines have differences in an area of the brain that helps process sensory information, including pain, according to a new study. The study found that part of the cortex area of the brain is thicker in people with migraine than in people who do not have the neurological disorder.

Moving away from sources of sensory input, such as loud sounds or strong smells, can reduce these feelings.
Anyone can experience sensory overload, and triggers are different for different people. Sensory overload is associated with several other health conditions, including autism, sensory processing disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and fibromyalgia.
Children with sensory processing disorder have difficulty processing information from the senses (touch, movement, smell, taste, vision, and hearing) and responding appropriately to that information. These children typically have one or more senses that either over- or under react to stimulation.
