A migraine is a neurological condition that causes severe throbbing pain or a pulsing sensation, usually on one side of the head. It is frequently accompanied by vomiting, nausea, and acute sensitivity to light and sound. Migraine attacks can last for hours to days, and the pain can be so severe that it hampers your ability to perform your daily activities. Migraines usually run in families and affect all ages.
Schedule your visit to the doctor for diagnosing migraine headaches which are determined by clinical history, reported symptoms, and by ruling out other causes. Your doctor will prescribe medications that can help prevent some migraines and make them less painful. The proper medicines mixed with self-help remedies and lifestyle changes might help.
Migraines, which commence in childhood, adolescence, or early adulthood, can progress through four stages: Prodrome, aura, attack, and post-drome. However, it is not necessary that everyone undergoes all the stages.
1. Prodrome
You will notice subtle changes, one or two days before a migraine. These symptoms act as a warning for an upcoming migraine, including:
2. Aura
For some people, aura might start before or during migraines. Aura is a visual disturbance that builds gradually over several minutes and lasts for 20 to 60 minutes.
Examples of migraine aura include:
3. Attack

During a migraine, you might have:
4. Post-drome

A doctor will treat your migraines by examining your family history, your medical history, symptoms, and a physical and neurological examination. Some of the tests that the doctor may order are:
Currently, there’s no cure for migraines, although your doctor will work with you to find out the most satisfactory treatment for you. Migraine treatment is aimed at alleviating symptoms and preventing future attacks.
Medications

Preventive medications: These medicines are taken regularly, often daily, to reduce the severity or frequency of migraines.
Your treatment will include a combination of many strategies:
