What Is a Migraine?

It is estimated that there are over 29.5 million Americans who are suffering from migraine. It is said the number is also significant on a global basis. But what exactly is this condition and why do most people fear it? Is it fatal? To begin with, migraine is a severe and very discomforting form of headache. It should not be perceived and taken as an ordinary headache, though. Most of its sufferers would argue that it is definitely worse. Patients describe the condition as characterized by throbbing or pulsing pain in a specific area in the head.

Interesting and notable information about migraine is that it occurs about threefold more common in women than in men. Experts also note that the condition is often encountered by people who are in the age range of about 15 years to 55 years. About 70% to 80% of migraine sufferers are noted of having the condition in the family history. Then, about half of migraine patients are receiving diagnosis from healthcare providers. In many cases, this vascular headache form is misdiagnosed or mistaken for tension-type headache or sinus headache. This could be because of the common symptoms and manifestations.

Symptoms could vary among different patients. Manifestations, prior to, during, and post migraine attacks could be varied, making it harder to tell if someone is under migraine attack. The common symptoms are as follows: typical pain on a single side of the head; pulsating or throbbing pain; vomiting or nausea; moderate to intense feeling of pain that could affect daily activities; headaches lasting up to three days; sensitivity to sound and light; visual disturbance; and worsening headache when climbing stairs or walking. Many patients also assert that migraine attacks could be comparatively unbearable as opposed to common types of headaches.
