What
is Migraine?
Migraine is a pulsating
headache that often affects one side of the head. It can be accompanied by
sensory warning signs like nausea, flashes of light, tingling in legs and arms,
extreme sensitivity to light and sound.
What
causes migraine?
Migraine occurs because
of the abnormal brain activity that affects the nerve signals, blood vessels
and chemicals in the brain temporarily. It is not clear what causes the change
in the brain activity but there is a possibility that your genes are
responsible for this trigger. Other possible triggers of migraine include irregular
sleep, smoking, dehydration, allergies, physical or emotional stress, or
hormonal triggers like fluctuations in menstrual cycle.

troubles with migraine, you would agree that you start noticing symptoms before
