- Vertigo (a spinning sensation)
- Dizziness

- Sensitivity to motion (motion sickness)

These symptoms can be quite debilitating and may not always occur alongside the typical migraine symptoms like severe headache, nausea, or sensitivity to light and noise. If you suspect you have vestibular migraines, it's important to consult a neurologist for an accurate diagnosis.
