Migraine attacks often involve moderate-to-severe throbbing pain, nausea, and sensitivity to light and sound. Some people experience visual aura beforehand.

Triggers

Common triggers include stress, certain foods, hormonal changes, poor sleep, and dehydration. Identifying personal triggers can help reduce attacks.

Treatment

Treatment includes acute medications to stop attacks and preventive strategies for frequent migraines. Lifestyle adjustments also play a role.
