The doctor explained that if the headaches occur less than 15 times a month, do not last long and there are no accompanying neurological symptoms, this is not associated with pathology and migraine. If headaches occur very frequently, you need to seek medical help to rule out serious diseases. If the attacks last more than 72 hours, then we are talking about a “migraine condition”.
Migraine attacks differ in nature from ordinary headaches, Demyanovskaya said. Migraines “are not relieved, but are provoked or aggravated by physical activity.” Additionally, migraine attacks in adults can occur 1 to 15 times a month or more and can last from a few hours to 3 days.
Also, migraine symptoms are excruciating throbbing pain on one side of the head, but the sides vary from attack to attack. Migraine is characterized by sensitivity to light and sound, as well as loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, pale skin and bluish lips.
“If the causes of migraine-like pain are not understood in time and treatment is not started, the intervals between attacks may shorten or the attacks may become longer and more severe. As a result, this can lead to the fact that a person will not be able to perform daily tasks and lead a normal lifestyle – for example, he will have to take regular leave from work,” said Demyanovskaya.
