Is this migraine?

Posting this on behalf of my mum..

She has this awful headache all of a suddenly, pain from head to neck.

She also occasionally has numbness on right hand and complains that her had is blue. This lasts about 15 to 20 mins until she massages it back to normal. Not sure if the headaches and hand numbness are linked or two totally different health problems? Can anyone help?

    It could be, migraines do often come with numb hands/face etc. Definitely go to the GP though because I suppose there are a lot of other things that have those symptoms!

    I would check with GP too. I get numb down one side with migraine but blue hands does not sound like migraine symptom to me ( no expert). The migraine shouldn't be linked with circulation in the hands ( again no expert)
