What Are Migraine Headaches?
March 18th, 2008 by admin
Over 29.5 million Americans suffer from migraine headaches today although only about half of these have been diagnosed with the condition, with a substantial number of people having been wrongly diagnosed as having either sinus headaches or tension-type headaches. Migraine headaches normally vary in intensity from moderate to severe pain which is characteristically confined to just one side of the head. In many cases sufferers will experience symptoms other than just the pain of the headache and will often also experience nausea and vomiting, as well as sensitivity to both light and noise. A migraine headache typically last anywhere from about 4 to 72 hours, but can often last considerably longer.
