Migraine
A migraine, also known as a migraine headache, is a type of recurring headache that is usually felt as throbbing and often affects one side of the head. It tends to be intense and to interfere with everyday activities.
Common symptoms:
- throbbing pain of moderate to strong intensity
- discomfort with light, noise, or certain smells
- nausea and, in some cases, prior visual changes
Factors that can play a role: stress, changes in sleep, certain foods, or hormonal factors act as triggers in many people.
Who to see? The neurologist is the specialist who studies migraines, and the general practitioner can provide initial guidance. When the episodes are frequent or very disabling, consulting a professional helps better understand the problem.
