Migraine Headache

Migraine Headache

Migraine is a neurological condition characterized by recurring, often debilitating headaches. It affects millions worldwide and can significantly disrupt daily life, work, and social activities. Migraines may last from a few hours to several days and are often accompanied by symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light (photophobia), sound (phonophobia), and visual disturbances called aura.

Causes of Migraine Headaches

  1. Genetic Predisposition:
    Family history increases susceptibility to migraines.

  2. Neurological Factors:
    Changes in brain chemicals, nerve signaling, or blood flow can trigger migraine attacks.

  3. Hormonal Fluctuations:
    Estrogen level changes in women during menstruation, pregnancy, or menopause can trigger migraines.

  4. Environmental Triggers:
    Bright lights, loud noises, strong odors, or weather changes may precipitate attacks.

  5. Lifestyle Factors:
    Stress, irregular sleep, dehydration, skipped meals, or certain foods and drinks can trigger migraines.

  6. Other Medical Conditions:
    Anxiety, depression, high blood pressure, or other chronic illnesses may exacerbate migraine frequency.

Symptoms

  • Intense, pulsating headache, often on one side of the head

  • Nausea and vomiting
