Migraines
Migraines are complex neurological conditions characterized by intense and often debilitating headaches. They typically present as a severe throbbing or pulsing pain, usually on one side of the head, and can be accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and extreme sensitivity to light and sound. Migraine attacks can last from hours to days and significantly interfere with daily activities.
The exact cause of migraines is not fully understood, but it involves changes in the brainstem and its interactions with the trigeminal nerve, as well as imbalances in brain chemicals like serotonin. Migraines are also influenced by genetic and environmental factors. Common triggers for migraines include emotional stress, missing meals, certain foods and preservatives, caffeine, hormonal changes in women, light, and certain medications.
