Migraine

A migraine is a very painful type of headache. Migraine is described as pulsing or throbbing pain in one area of the head.  During migraines, people are very sensitive to light and sound.  They may also become nauseated and vomit.  Medecines can help prevent migraine attacks or help relieve symptoms of attacks when they happen.

Migraine can be triggered by:

• Anxiety
• Stress
• Lack of food or sleep
• Exposure to light
• Hormonal changes (in woman)

Did you know

Migraine is three times more common in women than in men.  Some people can tell when they are about to have a migraine because they see flashing lights or zigzag lines or they temporarily lose their vision. Consult your Doctor for ruling out other causes for the headache and for the right medication.
