She said she didn't believe I was having a migraine because I am a man in my 40s, and most people with migraines are women and almost all have migraine onset by their 20s, almost never in their 40s. She said she would strongly suspect COVID if the tests were not negative because a lot of people have only a bad headache and/or nauseousness as a symptom. I told her I had taken three COVID tests by three different manufacturers since Wednesday and all were negative. She asked me several times if I thought I had COVID. I told the doctor I thought I had a migraine but don't know if they can persist for so many days. I didn't want to go to an urgent care because of potential COVID exposure, so I did a telemed visit. My sister, who has migraines, told me it was a migraine. At the time, I also had what people told me was a migraine aura in my right eye. This happened for the first time about a year ago during the pandemic lockdown. On Saturday, the top of my head started tingling. It persisted and by Thursday night, I was getting waves of nauseousness. Last Wednesday afternoon, I got a bad headache.
