Migraine pain is a mild to severe throbbing headache that
can last for a few hours to a few days and can occur a few times per month.
Patients who experience migraines are often sensitive to light, noise, smells
and movement.
Migraine headaches can be very painful but also cause a
surplus of other symptoms not associated with a general headache. Migraines can
also be a chronic condition and can be due to other factors.
While the symptoms of migraine headaches vary depending on
each individual, the most common signs and symptoms of a migraine headache
include: intense pain, throbbing or pulsing in one or multiple sides of the
head, nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound.
While some people only experience a migraine headache once
in a while, for others, migraine headaches can be debilitating and/or
chronic.
