Usually, only one side of the head is affected when you experience migraine. Extreme pain is experienced and can last anywhere from 4-72 hours if not treated, and renders you to bed. An attack is unbearable and usually makes the sufferers feel crippled and exhausted after the head pain has passed.

Medical science still hasn't discovered why there can be such long periods without a headache for some people and not others. Often other symptoms, similar to those of flu, may afflict the patient; for instance, light sensitivity and chills, along with a feeling of lightheadedness.

People who suffer from migraine attacks are those between the ages of 10 to 40. No one really knows why this is so, but when someone reaches the age of fifty, attacks almost never occur.

Members of the same family often suffer from migraine attacks, so it has been believed that a hereditary link is involved. Science though has not yet proven this, and has no solid evidence that there is a genetic factor involved.

A condition that causes an inflammation of blood vessels in the brain is said to be a factor in migraine attacks. People with sensitivity in this area normally suffer from migraines. Also, women have a three times greater chance of having migraine, while men have an eight percent chance of suffering from the problem. Science can't yet explain why this is so.

Before a migraine attack, there is a distinct warning called an aura that happens by 10-30 minutes before the attack. The signs for this attack seem to mostly affect the senses and can include:

Queasiness

Problems with vision

Reduction in the sensations of taste

Difficulty with verbal skills

This is only a short list, and other symptoms can and do happen. Migraines can also attack even without the aura, and builds up to an extreme intensity which is provoked more by continuous motion, light and noise, and often results in nausea and vomiting.

Some medical experts believe it is the contracting blood vessels that are responsible for the migraine with aura effect. It might be that it is the expansion of the blood vessels afterwards that causes the headache; those who are afflicted say the headache is often so intense that it impedes their regular routine, disrupting daily activity and often keeping them awake at night. You may experience one or more triggers with each attack. The most common complaints are bad weather, particular foods and beverages, being at great height, bright lights, insomnia and stress.
