Understanding Headaches and Migraines: Headaches can range from mild, occasional discomfort to debilitating chronic pain. Migraines, a specific type of headache, are often characterized by intense, pulsating pain on one side of the head, and can be accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and extreme sensitivity to light and sound. Recognizing the specific characteristics of your headaches is crucial to effective treatment.
Symptoms and Triggers: Symptoms can include a sharp, throbbing pain, a dull ache, or constant pressure. Migraines might be preceded by aura—visual disturbances such as flashes of light or blind spots. Common triggers include stress, certain foods, environmental changes, and hormonal fluctuations. It’s important to track these symptoms and triggers for a more accurate diagnosis.
