Migraine

A migraine is a debilitating neurological disorder characterized by recurrent, intense headaches that typically affect one side of the head. These headaches are often accompanied by symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and extreme sensitivity to light and sound. Migraines can last for hours to days and can significantly disrupt daily life. The exact cause of migraines is not fully understood, but they are believed to involve changes in brain chemistry and blood flow. Triggers for migraines vary from person to person and can include stress, hormonal changes, certain foods, lack of sleep, and environmental factors. Treatment options for migraines range from over-the-counter pain relievers to prescription medications specifically designed to alleviate symptoms and prevent future attacks. Lifestyle modifications, such as managing stress and identifying personal triggers, can also be effective in managing migraines.
