Headache & Migraine



Migraine attacks, affecting millions, cause intense headaches often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound. Here’s a breakdown of the two main types:


Common Migraine:
• This is the most frequent type, characterized by throbbing headaches, usually on one side of the head.
• The pain can range from moderate to severe and may worsen with head movement.
• Attacks can last anywhere from 4 to 72 hours.

Common symptoms include: Nausea and vomiting, Light and sound sensitivity, Blurred vision, Difficulty concentrating, Loss of appetite, Abdominal pain, Sweating or chills, Scalp tenderness.


Classic Migraine:

  • • This type involves a warning sign (aura) before the headache, typically lasting a few minutes (up to 60 minutes).
  • • Visual disturbances are the most common aura, including flashing lights, temporary vision loss, or distorted vision.
  • • Numbness, tingling, and speech problems might also occur before the headache.
  • • Following the aura, the headache usually begins within an hour, although it can occur immediately. The accompanying symptoms are similar to those of common migraine.

Diagnosis and Causes


Diagnosis is based on symptoms and a physical exam to rule out other causes. The exact cause remains unclear, but it’s believed to involve changes in brain chemicals and nerve signals.


Treatment Options

Management focuses on relieving pain and preventing future attacks.
Medication: Over-the-counter pain relievers like paracetamol or aspirin can be effective when taken early during an attack. Anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen may offer better relief.
Injections: For chronic migraines, injections targeting specific nerves have shown promise. Botox injections are FDA-approved for preventing migraines.
