About Migraines
A migraine is a neurological condition that commonly manifests as painful headaches. In addition to head pain, symptoms of migraines can include tiredness, increased hunger, mood changes, and neck pains.
Certain types of migraines can be preceded by warning signs or symptoms referred to as an aura. These can include visual disturbances, numbness or tingling sensations, dizziness, and difficulties with speech.
The duration of migraines varies, typically lasting between 2 hours and 3 days. Some individuals may experience prodromal symptoms, such as fatigue, up to 2 days before the onset of the headache, which can persist even after the headache subsides.
Migraines can vary in frequency, with some people experiencing them several times a week while others have them infrequently.
If conventional pain medications have not provided effective relief for your headaches and migraines, alternative therapies may be beneficial in managing pain levels. It’s important to consult with healthcare professionals to explore suitable treatment options.
