QUESTION: Migraines

ANSWER: The key symptoms that most healthcare providers look for are a throbbing head pain that's typically one-sided, intensity that's moderate to severe, and a lengthy duration (migraines can range from a few hours up to several days). Activity may make you feel even worse. You may have accompanying nausea and vomiting, and/or sensitivity to light and sound. If you suffer from migraines, you usually have headaches on a regular basis.
