What Are Headaches and Migraines?

A headache is pain or discomfort in the head, scalp, or neck. It can be occasional, frequent, or chronic. Headaches are broadly classified into primary headaches (not linked to another condition) and secondary headaches (caused by an underlying health issue).

Migraines are a type of primary headache characterized by moderate to severe throbbing pain, often on one side of the head, accompanied by other symptoms like nausea, sensitivity to light or sound, and sometimes visual disturbances called auras.

Frequently Asked Question

When should I see a doctor for headaches?

Seek medical attention if headaches are sudden and severe, accompanied by fever, confusion, weakness, or visual disturbances, or if they significantly disrupt your daily life.

Can migraines be cured?

Migraines cannot be “cured,” but they can be managed effectively. Many patients achieve excellent control with the right treatment plan.

How is a migraine different from a regular headache?

Migraines typically cause more intense pain, often one-sided, with additional symptoms like nausea, light sensitivity, and visual disturbances.

What is a migraine aura?

An aura consists of temporary visual or sensory symptoms (flashing lights, zigzag lines, numbness) that precede or accompany a migraine attack.

Are headache medications addictive?

Many headache medications are safe, but overuse can lead to medication overuse headaches. It’s essential to follow your doctor’s guidance.

Can stress cause migraines?

Yes. Stress is one of the most common migraine triggers. Stress management techniques can help reduce headache frequency.

Is Botox really used for migraines?

Yes. Botox injections are FDA-approved for preventing chronic migraines and can significantly reduce headache days for many patients.

Are there natural treatments for migraines?

Some patients benefit from magnesium supplements, riboflavin (vitamin B2), relaxation techniques, or acupuncture. However, these should complement—not replace—medical care.
