A migraine is a moderate or severe headache, usually felt as a throbbing pain on one side of the head. There are several types of migraine, including: migraine with aura (where there are warning signs before the migraine begins), migraine without aura (where the migraine occurs without warning signs), and migraine aura without headache (where an aura or other migraine symptoms are experienced, without a headache).
The main symptom of a migraine is usually an intense headache on one side of the head. Other symptoms associated with a migraine include:
These symptoms can last between four hours and three days, and you may feel very tired for up to a week afterwards.
There is no cure for migraines. However, there are treatments available to help reduce the symptoms. In some cases, over the counter painkillers can be helpful. However, you can buy migraine treatment online via prescription that are usually much more effective at quickly stopping the symptoms of a migraine.
Many people find that during an attack, sleeping or lying in a darkened room can help.
It may take time to figure out the best treatment for your condition. This may involve trying different types or combinations of medications before you find the most effective ones.
Like with all prescription medicines, there is always the potential for side effects, although not everybody gets them. The common side effects can prescription migraine tablets can include:
If you buy migraine medication online and it causes unpleasant side effects, your doctor or pharmacist may prescribe a different type of medication.
It’s not known what causes migraines. You’re more likely to get them if you have a close family member who gets them. Some people find certain triggers can cause migraines, such as:
It can help to keep a migraine diary to help you work out what might trigger your migraines.
A migraine tends to be a very bad headache with a throbbing pain on 1 side of the head. You may get other symptoms just before a migraine, such as:
You may also get warning signs you’re about to have a migraine (called an aura), such as:
Aura symptoms should not last for longer than an hour.
Migraines usually last between 2 hours and 3 days, with some symptoms (such as feeling very tired) starting up to 2 days before the head pain starts and finishing after the headache stops.
If you are pregnant, most drugs should be avoided. Certain drugs that should be avoided include antiepileptic medications as they may have a higher risk of causing damage to an unborn baby, especially if taken at the beginning of the pregnancy. Consult your doctor if you are concerned. Simple painkillers such as paracetamol are probably safe. Occasionally other drugs may be used to prevent migraine, most women find migraine considerably improves in the second and third trimester regardless. It is worth discussing the treatment options that are safe in breastfeeding with your doctor or pharmacist.
Migraines occur in both children and adults but affect adult women three times more often than men. It is believed migraines are genetic as most migraine sufferers have a family history of the disorder. They also frequently occur in people who have other medical conditions. Depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, sleep disorders, and epilepsy are more common in individuals with migraine than in the general population. Individuals who have pre-migraine symptoms referred to as aura have a slightly increased risk of having a stroke.
Migraine in women often relates to changes in hormones. The headaches may begin at the start of the first menstrual cycle or during pregnancy. Most women see improvement after menopause, although surgical removal of the ovaries usually worsens migraines. Women with migraine who take oral contraceptives may experience changes in the frequency and severity of attacks, while women who do not suffer from headaches may develop migraines as a side effect of oral contraceptives.
