Migraine Symptoms
Migraines typically begin on one side of the head, often spreading to both sides, with intense pain around the forehead. Many sufferers experience an aura, a visual disturbance that can include blind spots, blurred vision, zigzag lines, or flashing lights. Migraines often lead to irritability, depression, and a desire to lie down in a dark, quiet room for relief.
Causes and Triggers of Migraines
The exact cause of migraines is still unclear, but genetics play a role. During a migraine, blood vessels constrict, causing vision changes, then dilate, increasing blood flow and intensifying the headache. Common migraine triggers include foods like chocolate, aged cheese, or MSG, as well as alcohol, stress, hormonal changes, odors, and loud noises. Identifying and managing triggers is key to reducing migraine frequency and intensity.
