The difference between a migraine headache and a tension headache is that while a tension headache involves the muscles and fascia of the scalp and neck tightening and causing pain, a migraine involves a large chemical change that affects the entire body. Blood vessels in the brain become wider, serotonin is lowered, and nerves misfire - causing severe pain - along with a host of other symptoms.
However this is not clear at this point that migraine is caused by serotonin deficiency.
The most frequent tension headache causes are stress, hunger, alcohol and sinus issues such as infection and Allergies. Migraine headaches are much more severe than tension headaches. They also affect women more than men, and can sometimes accompany the menstrual cycle. Migraine headaches sometimes elicit other symptoms than just a throbbing head; such as sensitivity to light or sound. Migraines can last from hours to days, and can affect the sufferer's ability to focus, concentrate, work and interact with family. They often cause nausea and force the person to lie down in a dark room, to try to sleep it off.
Migraine headaches are classified by the International Headache Society (IHS) as primary headaches, which means that they are not caused by other diseases or disorders.
Common symptoms of a migraine include severe headache, sensitivity to light and sound, nausea, and vomiting. Pain in the brain during a migraine differs from other types of headaches because it is often throbbing or pulsating, and can be accompanied by visual disturbances or aura.
