What is a migraine?

In The UK, migraines are a common complaint. This severe form of headache affects approximately 25% of women and around 8% of men. Migraines can be triggered by various factors, though genetics is believed to play a role. This means you are more likely to develop migraines if someone in your close family also suffers from the condition.

Migraine attacks can be debilitating, a severe episode can completely disrupt your day, causing nausea, along with intense throbbing pain. Many people also experience a heightened intolerance to noise, light, and smells. This nasal spray will help provide relief from these symptoms as well.

Around one in every four people who suffer from migraines experience a preceding warning sign, known as an aura. An aura could be in the form of a visual cue, such as distorted or blurred vision. If the aura is experienced and a migraine doesn't follow, this is referred to as silent migraine.

Migraine attacks generally last for a few hours but can continue for as long as three days. After a severe migraine has subsided, the sufferer can remain feeling fatigued for several subsequent days.

There are a number of things that may trigger a migraine attack. This includes:

• Alcohol
• A poor diet
• Too much caffeine
• Stress
• A lack of sleep
• For some women, migraine attacks can be triggered by their monthly cycle.
