For me it's usually worst in my temples. Also, about a half hour before I get a migraine a see a rainbow like thing that messes up my vision (it's called an aura). Then it I feel sick and sometimes vomit from it. You will know when you have one. You will be very sensitive to light and noise. They are horrible. The doctor prescibed Imitrex for me and it works like magic. Within 5 minutes it's gone, but it makes my arms feel like jello. Not sure if it's for everyone though. Check with your doctor.

In classic migraines (medically defined, not just meaning a bad headache), the pain is usually on one side or the other side of the head. However, in reality, migraine headaches can be anywhere in the head.

well any sort of trauma to the skull can make the brain rebound against the inside of the skull cavity. Boxers are noted for becoming "punchdrunk" from repeated head trauma. To be certain I guess you need an xray or an MRI. If you are not suffering symptoms (for example, any blurred vision of spatial disturbances to name a couple) then I would just tend to say LUCKY ESCAPE and get on with life. You will make yourself ill if you worry about what you might have done rather than thinking Im ok, lets be a bit careful for a while.

When I get a migraine it is either on the left or the right side of my head, in my temple area, often behind my eye.

It is usually located in one of the temples, behind one of the eyes, and focused on one side of the head. It classically feels like a stabbing or pulsing pain, that causes nausea, sensitivity to light, sound, and/or odors. It may also be preceeded by visual disturbances such a spots, lines.

All of the above, when you get one you will have no doubt. Mine last about 2-4 hours and I feel like I'm bruised afterward.
Hope you never have to find out.
