Migraine
Migraine is a disorder marked by extremely painful recurring headaches, sometimes with nausea and vomiting.
Migraine attacks may occur daily or as infrequently as once a year, but they most commonly occur once or twice a month.
An attack is often triggered by an external stimulus, such as stress, hormonal changes that occur just before or during menstruation, or the ingestion of certain foods and drinks, such as alcoholic beverages.
A minority of people with migraine experience initial warning symptoms, known as an aura, that precede the headache by as much as an hour; there may be illusions of flashing lights, loss of vision, dizziness, numbness, or temporary defects in speech or movement.
Early symptoms subside in 10 to 30 minutes and are followed by a throbbing headache on one side of the head; less commonly the headache is bilateral. The headache is moderate to severe in intensity and can be intolerable in some sufferers.
Movement, bright lights, and physical activity tend to aggravate the pain. In typical cases, the migraine attack lasts for 12 to 24 hours or more unless relieved by medication early in its course.
