Migraine headaches are severely painful, continual headaches that are sometimes followed by other symptoms such as visual disturbances like aura, on can be followed by nausea. There are two types of migraine, common and classic typ of migraine headache. Common migraines are migraines with aura, and classic migraines are migraines without aura. If you have common migraine (migraine with aura) you will probably feel a visual disturbance (like seeing stars or zig-zag lines etc) about half an hour before migraine headache begins. Even if you don’t feel an aura, you may have other warning signs in the period before headache starsts. These are sings like carving for sweets, thirst, drowsiness, depression… However, you can not cure the migraine completely, you can deal the condition with migraine treatment and medicines by reducing oftenness of attack and decrease pain once an attack starts.

Migraine Headache, common or classic, has the following features:

Hard pounding, throbbing or pulsating pain
Begins on the one side of head and often spreads to both sides
Hardes pain is often concentrated around the forhed
Lasts from four to seventy-two hours

And these are migraine symptoms that may occur at the same time or before the headache:

Nausea and puking
Dizziness, lightheadedness and even vertigo
Loss of appetite
You feel numb, tingly or weak
Visual disturbances, sensitivity to light, seeing flashing lights etc…

Migraine symptoms may tarry even when headache is hone, you can feel mentally dull, sleppy, or have neck pain.

Researches are not sure what are causes of migraine, however they know it implies varieties in the blood flow in the brain. Initially bloog vessels narrow, thinning blood flow and heading to visual disturbances, weakness, feeling numb, etc…  Afterwards the blood vessels enlarge to increased blood flow and a severe headache. Migraine triggers can include alcohol (in most cases beer and red wine), certain foods (like aged cheeses, chocolate, nuts, some fruits like banana, avocado, sitrus… Meats containing monosodium glutamate, onions, etc… Skiping meals can also trigger migraine headache, same as crying, fluctuations in hormones (like during pregnancy, period and menopause), perfume or smoke, bright lights, loud noises, emotional and physical stress, saffeine, some medications etc…

For migraine treatment you can apply preventive or abortive medications.
Abortive headache treatment include triptans, which 1st target is serotonin. They act very similar, and they also have similar chemical structure. The triptans are applied just to cure migraine headache and don’t relieve pain from back problems, menstruation, etc…
Preventive migraine cure is sonsidered if migraine goes on frequently, generally if occurs more than one migraine per week, or if migraine symptoms are severe. The goal is to decrease the number of migraine headaches and severity of the migraine assaults. Cure for migraine prevention can be taken daily.
