What is a migraine?

As a migraine sufferer, I know exactly how it feels when it attacks. Migraine is a condition wherein the person suffers from a  painful headache and a feeling of vomitting or nausea. Most adult sufferers are women which accounts for 75 percent.  The headache is generally on one side of the head and is accompanied by pulsating nerves, sensitivity to light and vomitting which could last from a few hours to a few days. 


There are varied conditions that trigger a migraine but the real cause is still unknown. However, it is believed that the main cause is attributed to the fluctuating hormone levels particularly in women.
