I've generally always been a pretty calm person. Overcame panic disorder a couple years back. The only time I ever feel that panicky feeling is right before a migraine usually several hours before the migraine sets in. So I'll feel my nervous system get a bit sensitive, that goes away, and then later I get the headache. They are typically mild thankfully

This is incredibly helpful for a migraineur like myself. I, too, add to the male with anxiety and migraine statistic. One of my closest friends has EDS and that simple explanation of POTS helped me understand her better. Keep these great episodes up, for you are the hope and light to many confused and lost migraineurs! 🙌
