There are many different types of headaches and migraines, but they all share some common symptoms. These can include throbbing or pulsing pain, sensitivity to light and sound, nausea, and vomiting. Migraines in particular often come with “aura” symptoms, which can include seeing flashes of light or jagged lines, temporary blindness, or tingling in the hands and feet.
There are a variety of treatments available for headaches and migraines, but unfortunately there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Many people find relief with over-the-counter medications like Ibuprofen or Acetaminophen, while others may need prescription strength drugs. Some people find that certain lifestyle changes, such as getting enough sleep, managing stress, and avoiding triggers like bright lights or certain foods, can help reduce the frequency and severity of their headaches and migraines.
