Migraine
What Is a Migraine?
A migraine is a type of headache that can be quite strong.
It often comes with:
- Throbbing or pulsing pain (usually on one side of the head)
- Sensitivity to light or sound
- Nausea or feeling like you might vomit
- Blurry vision or seeing “sparkles” (for some people)
Migraines can last from a few hours to a couple of days.
🤕 Common Triggers
Everyone’s triggers are different, but common ones include:
- Stress or lack of sleep
- Skipping meals
- Bright lights or loud environments
- Dehydration
- Hormonal changes
- Certain foods (like chocolate, very salty food, processed snacks, strong cheese)
🚑 What You Can Do (Safe Tips)
These are general tips:
- When a migraine starts:
- Rest in a dark, quiet room
- Drink water (hydration helps)
- Put a cold pack or cool towel on your forehead
- Try slow breathing or relaxing your shoulders
- To reduce how often migraines happen:
- Keep a regular sleep schedule
