What is migraine?

Migraine is a neurological condition that can cause multiple symptoms. It’s frequently characterized by intense, debilitating headaches. Symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, difficulty speaking, numbness or tingling, and sensitivity to light and sound. Migraines often run in families and affect all ages. The diagnosis of migraine headaches is determined based on clinical history, reported symptoms, and by ruling out other causes. The most common categories of migraine headache are those without aura (previously known as common migraines) and those with aura (previously known as classic migraines). Migraines can begin in childhood or may not occur until early adulthood. Women are more likely than men to have migraines. Family history is one of the most common risk factors for having migraines. Migraines are different from other headaches. Find out about different types of headaches and how to tell if your headaches might be migraines.

Migraine symptoms

Migraine symptoms may begin one to two days before the headache itself. This is known as the prodrome stage. Symptoms during this stage can include:

• food cravings
• depression
• fatigue or low energy
• frequent yawning
• hyperactivity
• irritability
• neck stiffness
• Migraine pain

People describe migraine pain as:

• pulsating
• throbbing
• perforating
• pounding
• debilitating

Common symptoms include:

• Eye pain
• Sensitivity to light or sound
• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Severe pain, often only on one side of the head, that some individuals describe as “pounding” or throbbing.
• It can also feel like a severe dull, steady ache. The pain may start out as mild, but without treatment will become moderate to severe.
• Migraine pain most commonly affects the forehead area. It’s usually on one side of the head, but it can occur on both sides, or shift.
• Migraine nausea.
• More than half of the people who get migraines have nausea as a symptom. Most also vomit. These symptoms may start at the same time the headache does.
• Usually, though, they start about one hour after the headache pain starts.

Nausea and vomiting can be as troubling as the headache itself. If you only have nausea, you may be able to take your usual migraine medications. Vomiting, though, can prevent you from being able to take pills or keep them in your body long enough to be absorbed. If you have to delay taking migraine medication, your migraine is likely to become more severe.
