Have you ever felt a throbbing headache that knocks out your entire day? It might be more than just stress—it could be a Migraine.
Let’s decode this common yet crippling condition. 👇
🔍 What is Migraine?
Migraine is a neurological disorder marked by intense headaches, often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light or sound. Unlike regular headaches, migraines can last 4–72 hours and often recur.
🔄 Types of Migraine (Modern Medicine Insight):
1️⃣ Migraine without Aura – Most common. Pulsating pain on one side, nausea, fatigue.
2️⃣ Migraine with Aura – Visual/sensory disturbances precede the headache.
3️⃣ Chronic Migraine – Occurs 15+ days/month.
4️⃣ Vestibular Migraine – Dizziness, balance issues.
5️⃣ Hemiplegic Migraine – Temporary weakness/paralysis on one side.
💊 Modern Treatment Options:
✔️ Triptans – First-line drugs to block pain pathways
✔️ Anti-nausea meds
✔️ Preventive meds – Beta blockers, anti-seizure drugs, Botox injections
✔️ CGRP inhibitors – New-age therapy for chronic migraines
