Migraine is a type of headache that usually happens in episodes or "attacks." Attacks may last anywhere from four hours to as long as 72 hours. Migraine is more common in women than men and is thought to affect nearly 18.6% of women and 6.5% of men. No one knows exactly why migraines occur. We do know that the tendency to develop migraines can be inherited.Falling estrogen levels that occur just before menstruation can precipitate a migraine headache in many women. The symptoms and intensity varies from moderate to severe and disabling.(Moderate to severe pain Nausea Sensitivity to light and noise (and sometimes smell)Throbbing, pulsating at site of pain Pain, mainly one-sided Pain made worse with activity Vomiting.Some people experience "aura" 10 to 30 minutes before they have a migraine headache. Aura can include visual changes such as bright flashing lights;flickering, colored zigzag lines; blind spots;or loss of vision off to one side. Aura also can include a tingling sensation or numbness in the arms or legs, or dizziness. The cause of aura is still unknown.
