Migraine

The neurologist is the one who treats migraine, since it is a type of intense, recurrent headache that usually affects one side of the head and may be accompanied by other symptoms. It goes beyond an ordinary headache and can significantly interfere with daily life.

How it usually presents:

• Throbbing pain, often on one side
• Sensitivity to light, sounds, or smells
• Nausea and, in some cases, visual changes beforehand

Common triggers: Stress, lack of sleep, certain foods, or hormonal changes can set off the episodes.

When to seek care? If the attacks are frequent, very intense, or change in pattern, an evaluation is advisable. Following the case with a professional helps identify personal triggers and better manage the episodes.
