Stages Of Migraine- Dr Sravan - Rajahmundry

A migraine is much more than a bad headache. It can cause debilitating, throbbing, one-sided head pain that can leave you in bed for days. Movement, lights, sounds and other triggers may cause symptoms like fatigue, nausea, vision changes, irritability and more. A healthcare provider can help you manage symptoms so migraines don’t take over your life.

What are the types of migraines?
There are several types of migraines. The most common migraine categories are:

Migraine with aura (classic migraine).
Migraine without aura (common migraine).
An aura is a phase of the migraine before head pain begins.

Other types of migraines include:

Migraines in children (abdominal migraine).
Chronic migraine.
Hemiplegic migraine.
Menstrual migraine.
Migraine without headache (silent migraine).
Retinal migraine (ocular migraine).
Status migrainosus.

How often do migraines happen?
The frequency of a migraine varies from person to person. You might have one migraine per year or one per week. On average, most people experience two to four per month. They’re most common in the morning. Most migraines are unpredictable, but sometimes, you can have an idea of when a migraine will happen, like before menstruation or after feeling stress.

How do I deal with a migraine as it happens?
There are certain things you can do to help you feel better when a migraine attack happens, including:

Resting in a dark, quiet, cool room.
Applying a cold or warm compress or washcloth to your forehead or behind your neck.
Massaging your scalp.
Applying pressure to your temples in a circular motion.
Keeping yourself in a calm state (meditating).
