Headache:
Signs and symptoms
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
Initially, migraine headaches usually produce unilateral, pulsating pain, which later becomes more generalized. They’re commonly preceded by a scintillating scotoma, hemianopsia, unilateral paresthesia, or speech disorders. The patient may experience irritability, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, and photophobia. (See Clinical features of migraine headaches.)
Both muscle contraction and traction-inflammatory vascular headaches produce a dull, persistent ache, tender spots on the head and neck, and a feeling of tightness around the head, with a characteristic “hatband” distribution. The pain is usually severe and unrelenting. If caused by intracranial bleeding, these headaches may result in neurologic deficits, such as paresthesia and muscle weakness; narcotics may fail to relieve pain in these cases. If caused by a tumor, pain is most severe when the patient awakens.

Headache:
Signs and symptoms
(Handbook of Diseases)
Migraine headaches and muscle contraction headaches have different signs and symptoms.
Migraine headache
Initially, a migraine headache usually produces unilateral, pulsating pain that later becomes more generalized. The headache is commonly preceded by a scintillating scotoma, hemianopsia, unilateral paresthesia, or speech disorders. The patient may experience irritability, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, and photophobia. (See Clinical features of headache, page 364.)
Muscle contraction headache
A muscle contraction headache produces a dull, persistent ache; tender spots on the head and neck; and a feeling of tightness around the head, with a characteristic “hatband” distribution. The pain is usually severe and unrelenting.
If caused by intracranial bleeding, the muscle contraction headache may result in neurologic deficits, such as paresthesia and muscle weakness; narcotics fail to relieve the pain in these cases. If the headache is caused by a tumor, pain is most severe when the patient awakens.

Article Excerpts About Symptoms of Common migraine:
Common migraine—a term that reflects the disorder's greater occurrence
in the general population—is not preceded by an aura. But some people
experience a variety of vague symptoms beforehand, including mental
fuzziness, mood changes, fatigue, and unusual retention of fluids. During
the headache phase of a common migraine, a person may have diarrhea and
increased urination, as well as nausea and vomiting. Common migraine pain
can last 3 or 4 days. (Source: excerpt from Headache - Hope Through Research: NINDS)
Common migraine: Onset and Incubation
Onset of Common migraine: The incidence of migraine is related to the incidence of epilepsy in families, with migraine twice as prevalent in family members of epilepsy sufferers, and more common in epilepsy sufferers themselves.
