A migraine can cause severe throbbing pain or a pulsing sensation, usually on one side of the head. Some cases have nausea, vomiting, and extreme sensitivity to light and sound. Migraine attacks can last for hours to days, and the pain can be so severe that it interferes with your daily activities.
For some people, a warning symptom known as an aura occurs before or with the headache. It includes visual disturbances, such as flashes of light or blind spots, or other irritations, such as tingling on one side of the face or in an arm or leg and difficulty speaking.
Medications can help prevent some migraines and make them less painful. The right medicines, combined with self-help remedies and lifestyle changes, might help. (Source: Mayo Clinic)
