Migraine Headache

If you are suffering from one sided pain in the head, which is moderate to severe in scope, and which is usually preceded by an ‘aura’ then most probably you are suffering from a migraine headache. However, things are not as cut and dried as they seem. The ‘aura’, which in migraine terms indicates an imminent attack, is essentially a perception that is either visual or auditory in nature. A large portion of the people suffering from a migraine headache do not experience an aura.

Other symptoms of a migraine headache include nausea, sensitivity to light and sound. Whatever side of the head that is affected my migraine, and in many cases it’s both sides; the location of the pain is near the eye.
