A Migraine is a common neurological disease that causes a variety of
symptoms, most notably a throbbing, pulsing headache on one side of your
head. A Migraine will likely get worse with physical activity, lights,
sounds or smells. It may last at least four hours or even days. About 12%
of Americans have this genetic disorder. Research shows that it's the
sixth most disabling disease in the world.
Migraine🤯: More than just a Headache🤕
When most people hear the term Migraine, they often think of a severe
headache. But headaches are only one symptom of Migraines, and they can
range in severity and length. There are over 150 types of headaches,
divided into two categories: Primary Headaches and
Secondary Headaches. A Migraine is a
Primary Headache, meaning that it isn't caused by a
different medical condition. Primary Headache disorders
are clinical diagnoses, meaning there's no blood test or imaging study to
diagnose it. A Secondary Headache is a symptom of another health
issue.
Because Migraines effect more than just the head, there are several types of Migraine. To learn more, check out the links below!
