As opposed to common headaches, migraines can be debilitating. In addition to a throbbing pain on the side of the head, migraines are often accompanied by visual disturbances, nausea, vomiting, dizziness and extreme sensitivity to sound, light, touch and smell. Recognizing the coming attack before it started and taking the prescribed medication early may significantly lessen the pain. Here are some warning indications to watch for.
Clearly, every person is different and each of the signs above may be caused by reasons having nothing to do with migraines. Yet by paying attention to the possible warning indications, migraine patients can learn to significantly ease the pain.
