There are many things that this could be. You could have low potassium, you could have a hangover, you could have a low blood sugar, it could also be low sodium, but the most common is being dehydrated.  Drink plenty of fluids, especially ones that contain sodium like Gatorade.

Migraine Headache Symptoms

Migraines are different from tension or cluster headaches and produce unique symptoms. Different people experience different symptoms and different time periods between migraine attacks. Some people can get migraines every week while others may get them only once or twice a year.

Some people get signs and symptoms that a migraine is about to come on (prodromal phase). Possible early warning symptoms include such things as raised or dull senses, irritability, withdrawal from people, cravings for particular foods (especially sweet foods), lot of yawning or having trouble talking. These symptoms can develop slowly over 24 hours.

Migraine with ‘Aura’

A small number of people get warning symptoms within only an hour of getting a migraine. This is known as ‘aura’ and is a special type of feeling that a migraine is about to start. You may see flashing lights or zig zag lines in your vision, or even lose site in one or both eyes. You may also get pins and needles in your hands.

About 80% of people do not get an aura before a migraine.

Answer 13

Sounds like stress, if you are have pins and needles more in your middle finger, especially on your left arm its definately due to stress, the headaches are strong symptoms of anxiety, especially if you try and lie down and they wont go away.

Thirst? well that could be anything although i would put all your symptoms down to stress.

For a full diagnosis please see your doctor

Get well soon

Answer 14

Headaches can be caused by so many things - a bump on the head to a sudden change in air pressure when the weather changes suddenly.  Pins and needles could be a side effect of a migraine as hufflethe says or it could also  be poor circulation. Maybe see a doctor and have your blood pressure checked. Those can all be symptoms of blood pressure problems among other things. If it keeps up, I think the best way to deal with it is to see your doctor; everything else is just guessing, educated guessing maybe but still guessing.

Answer 15
