Migraine vs Headache

Distinguishing between a headache and a migraine is often apparent, given the distinct symptoms of the latter. Most individuals experience their inaugural migraine during childhood or adolescence.

Stages of Migraines

Migraines typically unfold in four stages, and recognizing these stages aids in identification:

• Prodrome Stage: May precede a migraine by a few days, featuring symptoms like constipation, food cravings, neck stiffness, mood swings, and increased urination.
• Aura Stage: May occur before or during a migraine, presenting rare symptoms like vision problems, difficulty speaking, numb or tingling feelings in an arm or leg, muscle weakness, and uncontrolled jerking movements.
• Attack Stage: The primary migraine stage, characterized by headache pain (usually on one side), throbbing sensations, nausea, vomiting, blurry vision, and heightened sensitivity to light.
• Postdrome Stage: Considered the aftermath, with lingering symptoms like dizziness, lightheadedness, feelings of elation or fatigue, weakness, and increased sensitivity to light and sound.

Migraines are more prevalent in women and often triggered by stress, medication overuse, excessive alcohol consumption, physical exertion, and other external factors.
