A migraine headache is a particularly strong, throbbing, pulsing headache on one side of your head. This is usually accompanied by a number of symptoms, such as nausea, vomiting and extreme sensitivity to light and sound. Migraine symptoms may last at least four hours or, in severe cases, for days. Approximately 39 million Americans suffer from this common genetic neurological disorder.

What Are the Symptoms of a Migraine?

Symptoms of migraine headaches may include one or more of the following:

  • Intense throbbing or dull aching pain on one side of your head or both sides
  • Pain that worsens with physical activity
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Changes in how you see, blurred vision, or blind spots
  • Extreme sensitivity to light, sound, and smells
  • Feeling tired and/or confused

What Causes Migraines?

The causes of migraine headaches are not fully understood. A headache results when nerves in the blood vessels send pain signals to the brain. These signals result in the release of inflammatory substances into the nerves and blood vessels of the head. More research is required to determine why nerves behave in this manner.
