Migraines are more than just a headache. They’re a neurological condition that can last hours to days, often with symptoms like a throbbing head, pain (usually one side), nausea & vomiting and sensitivity to light/sound.

Triggers include stress, certain foods (chocolate, caffeine, cheese), hormonal changes and lack of sleep.
