what is migraine headache

 

Migraine headaches are often accompanied by other symptoms such as sensitivity to light and sound, nausea, and vomiting. 

Migraines can be triggered by a variety of factors, including stress, certain foods or drinks, changes in sleep patterns, hormonal changes, and environmental factors. They can last for several hours or up to a few days, and can significantly impact a person's daily life and functioning. 

There are different types of migraines, including migraine with aura (which involves visual disturbances such as flashing lights), and chronic migraine (which involves headaches occurring more than 15 days per month). Treatment options for migraines include medications, lifestyle changes, and alternative therapies such as acupuncture or biofeedback. It's important to consult with a healthcare professional if you experience frequent or severe migraines to discuss appropriate treatment options.
