What causes migraine?

The exact cause of migraine is unclear, and it can occur due to a mix of factors. However, there is a strong genetic component, meaning that it can run in families. Examples of migraine triggers include hormonal changes, stress, tiredness, dehydration, caffeine intake, bright lights, and some medications.

What does migraine feel like?

A migraine headache causes an intense headache that typically affects one side of the head. A person may also experience a severe throbbing sensation, nausea, vomiting, and increased sensitivity to lights and sounds.

Studies have identified a strong but complex genetic component to migraine. Certain genes may increase the likelihood of a person experiencing migraine headaches. However, environmental factors may also influence this likelihood. More research is necessary to understand the possible links between genetics and migraine.

How long does migraine typically last?

The duration of migraine can last anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Depending on the type of migraine, a person may experience symptoms in the days leading up to a headache.
