What is a migraine?

Migraines are a severe throbbing pain or pulsing sensation, usually on just one side of the head. They can cause significant pain for time periods ranging from 4 to 72 hours if left untreated, and can be extremely debilitating. For some people, migraines are also accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and extreme sensitivity to light and sound.

Causes and triggers of migraines

While susceptibility to migraines is generally inherited, the triggers of migraine can be different and varied, even for the same person! For many people, it takes a combination of triggers to set off a migraine headache. These might include:

  • Dietary triggers: Irregular mealtimes, caffeine withdrawal, certain alcoholic beverages, etc.
  • Environmental triggers: Bright or flickering lights, strong smells, travel, weather changes, etc.
  • Hormonal triggers: Stages of the reproductive cycle, pregnancy, oral contraceptives, etc.
  • Physical and emotional triggers: Lack of sleep, illness, back and neck pain, etc.
