What is a migraine?

It is still not known what brings on a migraine, though it could be that an increase of activity in chemicals in the brain gives confusing messages and many attacks occur for no reason, though some think they could be brought on by certain foods and drinks.

Migraines are a common complaint in The UK. The infliction tends to affect a greater number of women (25%) compared with men (8%). Migraines are thought to be at least partially hereditary, which means you may be more prone to the condition if someone in your close family suffers from the condition.

For those unfortunate sufferers who experience severe migraine attacks, these debilitating episodes can completely disrupt their day, potentially causing nausea, intolerance to strong light, noises and smell. If you are unsure whether your headaches are migraines, take a look at our useful guide detailing Migraine Warning Signs for more information.

Approximately one in every four people who suffer from migraines experiences some form of warning sign before an attack. This is known as an aura. An aura may involve visual cues, such as blurred or distorted vision. Orodispersible Migraine Tablets will provide relief whether or not the migraine is accompanied by an aura. A silent migraine occurs when the aura happens but a migraine does not follow.

Migraines can be triggered by a number of factors, including:

• a poor diet
• caffeine
• alcohol
• stress
• a lack of sleep
• Some women regularly suffer from migraine attacks during their monthly period.
