Might my abdominal pain be abdominal migraines?

Posted by mdoyle1848 @mdoyle1848, Nov 11, 2022

Has anyone experienced severe abdominal pain? I’m not just talking about cramping but pain that is debilitating. I can’t do anything and they wipe out my energy. My doctor mentioned it could be abdominal migraines.

"The pain connected to abdominal migraine is generally located in the middle of the stomach around the belly button. It can feel like a dull ache or soreness and may be moderate to severe. In addition, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, and a pale appearance (pallor) can occur."

Does that sounds like your experience?
