Understanding Migraines and Vascular Headaches

What is a migraine? Good question. We don't quite know what causes migraine headaches, but we know how to recognize one. Although many people will call any severe headache a migraine, some of the distinguishing characteristics of true migraines are that they 1) tend to primarily affect one side of the head; 2) throb or pulse; 3) recur after pain-free intervals; 4) and, are almost always accompanied by either nausea, photophobia (light hypersensitivity), phonophobia (sound hypersensitivity), or aura (visual disturbances).
