How would you know if you're having migraine headaches?

Answer 1

== A migraine headache is a neurological disorder characterized by intense head pain that lasts from 4 hours to 4 days. The pain is just the start of a migraine, however, as migraines actually herald a whole host of changes to the entire body.

There are two main types of migraine headache, but there are many sub-categories. The two main types are common migraine, or migraine without aura, and classic migraine - migraine with aura.

When a doctor is trying to diagnose migraine, they will be looking for:

1. More than one episode of head pain with intense throbbing pain, usually on one side of the head.

2. How long the headache lasts

2. Sensitivity to light

3. Nausea
