Migraine

Proposed causes of migraine include genes, or changes in the brain such as the chemicals, nerves, or blood vessels.

Those that experience migraines find that they have specific triggers for migraine, such as:

• Flashing lights
• Hormonal changes
• Smoking
• Alcohol
• Stress
• Fatigue
• Loud sounds

There is currently no cure available for migraines. However, symptoms can be managed. Over the counter painkillers like ibuprofen and paracetamol can help to relieve pain, and anti-sickness tablets can be used to control nausea.
