Expressive aphasia is a communication disorder that can make it difficult to produce speech. It's also known as Broca's aphasia, because it usually occurs after damage to an area of the brain called the Broca's area.

Migraine occurs in 4 stages (though not all stages in everyone) – Prodrome, aura, attack, post-drome. Knowing the stages is important in assigning a case specific ICD code.
Sometimes severity of the pain can be very severe and can last for more than 2 days.
The type of pain can be throbbing at one side of the head associated with light sensitivity and nausea, vomiting.
Symptoms include, black dots, flashes of light, hallucination, unable to speak clearly, weakness or numbness on face or one side of the body, difficulty in talking.

Physician can diagnose the type of headache or the underlying cause depending on the area and severity of the pain and also from the history and physical exam.
