A migraine is a severe head ache usually on the one side of your head. It's often accompanied by nausea and vomiting. Most people will have headache from time to time and it may go away on their own in sometime without causing much trouble or other symptoms. The pain of the migraine is often described as sudden, strong and pounding. Sometimes pain can be on the both sides of your head as well.
People affected with migraine are mostly sensitive to light and sound. They often tend to have recurring attacks triggered by a number of different factors, including stress, anxiety, hormonal changes, poor diet and sleep habits. In some cases, people may have frequent attacks while others will have pain only now and then.
