Migraines are a common neurological condition that can cause severe, throbbing headaches — often affecting one side of the head — accompanied by nausea, vomiting, or sensitivity to light and sound.
Triggers vary from person to person and may include stress, hormonal changes, lack of sleep, dehydration, or certain foods. Symptoms can be debilitating, making reliable treatment essential for relief and recovery.
