MIGRAINE
Migraine is one of the most common ailments of the nervous system.
It causes recurrent throbbing or pulsating headaches usually one sided accompanied with nausea, vomiting, and extreme sensitivity to light and sound or other neurological signs.
It can also accompany sinus problems, muscle tension (tension headaches), eyestrain, blood sugar imbalances, or hormonal imbalances, such as premenstrual syndrome etc.
Migraine attacks can last for hours to days, and the pain can be so bad that it interferes with your daily activities.
The sufferer is completely normal between two episodes and may or may not get certain warning signs before an attack. Reoccurring once a month, in some people, it is often once or twice a week.
Classical Migraine – About 20% of all the cases.
They are preceded by an aura – light-headedness, sparkles or flashlights, super sensitivity to noise etc. this aura lasts for 15-45 minutes and is followed by pounding, throbbing headache.
