A migraine aura without a headache is a type of migraine. When you have an aura, you may see spots, wavy lines, or flashing lights. Your hands, arms, or face may tingle or feel numb. But unlike other migraines, a headache doesn't follow the aura.
Some people have both types of migraines. Although they sometimes have an aura without the headache, at other times they may get a headache after an aura.
Without treatment, migraines can last from 4 hours to a few days. Medicines can help prevent migraines or stop them once they have started. Your doctor can help you find which ones work best for you.
