    What is the difference between a migraine disorder and an arachnoid cyst on the brain
    My doc said I have a migraine disorder, I think my symptoms are caused from my cyst. Anyone can help me? I have ringing in my ears and visions goes out sometimes THEN my head will start to feel like its full of something and the pressure is unbearable. I do have migraines, but what I feel on a day to day basis isn't a migraine or a normal headache!

    Honestly? YOUR DOCTOR told you that you have migraine disorder. You disagree so I instead of scheduling with a neurologist and getting a 2nd opinion, you come to Dr. Google and ask the general public? LOL! Come on. I’m a nurse, but I’m not going to try to assess you through a forum. You need to get a 2nd medical opinion from a licensed medical doctor.

    Yes. It's an arachnoid cyst I've had three opinions on a three different doctors told me from the CAT scan and the MRI that it is indeed an arachnoid cyst

    I wasn't asking for a diagnosis my neurologist was the one who said I had a migraine disorder all I'm asking is what is the difference between a migraine disorder and knowing that something or thinking that something could be caused from an arachnoid cyst that I have in my brain how can I know that I have a migraine disorder instead of something wrong with my cyst? That's all I was asking not asking for anyone 2 diagnose me

    The difference is best expressed by one of your doctors and none here is one. That's the problem with asking health questions on the net. If you have had different opinions already from doctors then whatever treatment they recommend is what you will follow, and they probably have expressed the ways to go about that treatment. What do they recommend?
