Migraine - Causes, Symptoms and Migraine Pain Relief:
What is migraine?
There are two types:
Migraine without an aura (common migraine)
This consists of a severe, throbbing headache, usually located on one side, with abdominal symptoms including loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dislike of food, constipation or diarrhoea. This affects about nine out of 10 sufferers.
Sufferers may also experience sensitivity to smell, light and noise, which leads them to rest in a quiet, darkened room.
Migraine with aura (classical migraine)
The headache is preceded by visual disturbances such as flashing lights, zig zag lines and blind spots, or tingling limbs.
Migraine symptoms include:
Pain typically on one side of the head
Pain has a pulsating or throbbing quality
Moderate to intense pain affecting daily activities
Nausea or vomiting
Sensitivity to light and sound
Visual disturbances or aura
The average length of a migraine attack is 22 hours and sufferers
generally feel washed out for another one to two days afterwards.
