A migraine is a type of neurological disorder in which there is severe throbbing pain in the head. The pain is usually on one side of the head and is often accompanied by nausea, vomiting and extreme sensitivity to light and sound. The triggers of migraine are light, sound, movement, etc.
Migraine attack can last from a few hours to a few days. The pain of migraine is so severe that it affects a person’s day to day life. A person has tingling sensation on one side of face or in one arm or legs. He can have difficulty in speaking also.
With medications, the symptoms of migraine can become less severe. Combined with proper diet and lifestyle, its occurrence can be decreased.
