Migraine
Migraine (hemicrania, half headache) is one of the most common neurological diseases affecting 10-12% of the world's population.
Migraines are characterized by severe throbbing pain that occurs on one or both sides of the head. The headache is of an offensive nature and lasts from 4 to 72 hours. Migraine pain is often accompanied by:
- Nausea
- Light and noise intolerance
- Numbness of limbs
- Weakness
- Short speech disorder
Migraine risk factors:
Several factors contribute to the development of migraines, including:
- Hormonal changes
- Psycho-emotional stress
- Eating and sleeping disorders
- Genetic factors, which are of great importance
Migraine forms
One of the most common forms of migraine is migraine with aura, also called classic migraine. Aura can be:
- Visual (flashing dots in front of the eyes, flashes of light)
- Olfactory (sensation of unpleasant smell)
- Motor (numbness of limbs, weakness)
A phase of agony follows aura. A differential diagnosis is required to rule out significant illnesses because headaches are a common symptom of many disorders. A visit to a neurologist is essential for this.
