What is it?
Migraine is a neurological condition characterised by recurrent, intense headaches often accompanied by nausea, sensitivity to light or sound, and visual disturbances (auras). It’s more than a simple headache; it can severely affect daily functioning and quality of life.
What causes it?
Migraine is typically triggered by a combination of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. Common causes include:
- Hormonal changes, especially in women
- Irregular sleep patterns or fatigue
- Stress or emotional overwhelm
- Certain foods (like aged cheese, chocolate, caffeine) or skipped meals
- Sensory triggers such as bright lights or loud sounds
What are the possible symptoms?
Migraine symptoms often progress in phases and may include:
- Throbbing or pulsing pain on one side of the head
- Nausea, vomiting, or dizziness
- Visual auras like flashes, zigzag lines, or temporary blind spots
- Sensitivity to light, sound, or smell
- Fatigue and difficulty concentrating before or after the attack
