Migraine is a medical illness characterised by severe, recurrent headaches as well as other signs and symptoms. A migraine attack is a specific sort of headache. An episode generally happens in stages and might last a few days. Severe instances can have a negative impact on a person’s day-to-day life, such as their capacity to work or study.
Migraine can impact people in a variety of ways, with variable causes, intensity, symptoms, and frequency. Some people have many episodes every week, while others only have them once in a while.
Migraine comes with intense, throbbing pain and causes severe impairment in daily functioning. During migraine various organs are involved and their symptoms are as follows:
- BRAIN : During a migraine attack, neurotransmitters get released causing inflammation and pain. In most patients, pain is usually felt one-sided and can extend to the neck and jaw as well
- HEAD: the patient can also experience dizziness and vertigo due to involvement of the brainstem.
- STOMACH: the patient can experience nausea or vomiting after a headache. Changes in hormones level can also play a role.
- EYES : The patient can complain of photophobia or sensitivity to light due to involvement of the thalamus
- EARS : Up to 3/4 patients can also complain of increased sensitivity to sound. Loud noise can also precipitate Migraine attacks.
