Migraine is a common neurological disorder that can be very distressing and disabling. Typically, it is a one-sided throbbing or pulsating headache that is at least moderately intense and can be aggravated by physical activity. It is very often associated with nausea and vomiting, as well as increased sensitivity to light, sound and even some types of smell. In contrast, tension headache, another common headache type, is milder and is usually felt on both sides of the head. It is a pressing or tightening sensation rather than a throbbing headache and is not made worse by activity or accompanied by nausea. Headaches and migraines can arise from many different factors, some more serious than others and can present differently, depending on their underlying cause. Causative factors can include hormonal changes, food and environmental sensitivities and allergies, eye strain, altitude sickness, stress, anxiety, dehydration, physical misalignment, medication side effects, aneurysm and brain tumour.
