Other migraine equivalents include periodic diarrhea, fever, mood changes, and possibly attacks of chest pain known as precordial migraine: http://www.imigraine.net/migraine/othervar.html

Answer 2

Migraine is a painful neurological condition, of which the most common symptom is an intense and disabling episodic headache. Migraine headaches are usually characterized by severe pain on one or both sides of the head. Absent serious head injuries, stroke, and tumors, the recurring severity of the pain indicates a vascular headache rather than a tension headache. Migraines are often accompanied by photophobia (hypersensitivity to light), phonophobia (hypersensitivity to sound) and nausea.

Migraine was once thought to be initiated by problems with blood vessels. This theory is now largely discredited. Current thinking is that a phenomenon known as cortical spreading depression is responsible for the disorder. In cortical spreading depression, neurological activity is depressed over an area of the cortex of the brain. This results in the release of inflammatory mediators leading to irritation of cranial nerve roots, most particularly the trigeminal nerve that conveys the sensory information for the face and much of the head.

simply to say,precortical dysfunction in migraine is often called as precortical migraine...(its precortical not precordial)
