My experience-Experiencing "mini-migraine" attacks, even during a migraine?

---

My wording might be a little confusing since I'm in a postdrome from a really fun migraine right now.

I rather frequently experience varieties of what I can best describe as a "mini-migraine." These are events that last a few minutes and have distinct phases that feel very much like the prodrome and/or aura (I'm just going to say aura), acute, and postdrome phases of a migraine. They tend to be fairly mild. They tend to be more likely when I'm having a "normal" (hah!) migraine attack. I don't think I tend to get them during a silent migraine.

A common example is experiencing a strange feeling for up to a few minutes, kind of like a migraine aura. I know it's a warning and try to make sure I'm sitting down or leaning on something. Then the acute part hits and lasts mere seconds. Sometimes there's a single ice pick headache, sometimes not. Almost always I feel like I "skipped" a second or a few seconds. Then afterwards for a few minutes I feel confusion and sometimes dizziness, kind of like a migraine postdrome, and sometimes my visual snow gets much worse and my vision is just slightly blurry.

These tend to happen repeatedly, often in clusters spaced minutes apart. I can have multiple clusters of these per day. Sleep deprivation makes them much more likely (as with my normal migraines). They're really more bizarre than bothersome, fortunately.

Who else has any experience with something like this? Is there a name for these things?
