What is migraine?

Migraine is a type of neurological disorder that is often associated with lung headaches that usually only occur in the head.

This condition is not only a normal headache, but also accompanied by other symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound.

Migraine attacks can take time between hours and several days, depending on the severity.

There are also patients with migraine warnings, such as running away or blinking (aura), before the attack begins.

Migraine can attack anyone, but more common in women than men.

Migraine trigger factors vary between individuals, including stress, hormonal changes, lack of sleep, certain types of food, and light that are too bright.

Therefore, it is important for patients to identify the causes and signs of migraine so that prevention and treatment steps can be taken more effectively.

Type of migraine sign

There are several types of migraines and headaches you need to know:

1. Migraine with aura

About a quarter of people with migraines also suffer from aura, vision disorders or sensation changes that usually show future attacks.

This migraine sign may include seeing patterns (dots, sparks, zigzags or other vision disorders), tingling or numbness on the face (or body) and/or disorders in speech or language.

Aura is the second phase of four different migraine phases and usually occurs for 5 to 60 minutes.

That can happen with or without headaches.

2. Migraine Without Aura

70-75% of migraine patients do not experience aura.

They will usually experience simple headaches against severe pain or just throb.

Headaches usually become worse with physical activity and are often associated with sensitivity to light and/or noise and nausea and/or vomiting.

3. Migraine without headaches

Also known as silence or acephalgia.

The American Migraine Foundation classifies this type of migraine as a typical aura without headaches.

This means that a person may experience an aura and other migraine symptoms, but no headache.

Therefore, migraine without headaches is very risky.

This can be triggered by a general migraine trigger, and people with migraines without headaches tend to have other types of migraines.

4. Migraine hemiplegic

Hemiplegic migraine is a very rare migraine form.

People who experience this migraine will feel weak on one side of their body.

It is possible with other symptoms of aura (such as visual disorders) and the sensation of “pins and needles.

Symptoms of hemiplegic migraine can occur from several hours to several days and initially may be misunderstood as a stroke.

Just like migraine without headaches, hemiplegic migraines are also often not caused by symptoms of headaches.

5. Retina Migraine

Migraine retina causes temporary loss of vision in the eye.

This type of migraine is most often experienced by women during labor.

Loss of vision can last between five and 60 minutes.

This type of migraine is very rare that we are sometimes confused with visual migraine.

However, retinal migraine only occurs in one eye unlike other types of migraines.

6. Chronic migraine

Chronic migraines affect 3-5% of the American population.

Those who have severe or chronic migraine signs are defined as headaches of 15 days or more on a month or more than three months.

To diagnose yourself as a chronic migraine, you should at least get migraine symptoms in your eight days of headaches.

7. Migraine of the stomach

Migraine stomach is usually experienced by children who are characterized by pain located in the middle of the stomach around the middle.

In addition to abdominal pain, the symptoms include nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite and pale skin can also be felt.

Some children may also experience other migraine symptoms such as light and sound sensitivity.

Attacks can occur from two to 72 hours, and children usually have no symptoms between attacks.
