What is Migraine?
A type of headache that typically presents as throbbing, pulsating pain on one side of the head, sometimes with associated nausea or sensitivity to light and sound. Sometimes, sensory disturbances, such as vision changes (seeing flashing lights or zigzag lines), can occur before the headache. The pain may worsen on exposure to bright lights or loud noise. Triggers for migraine include stress, poor sleep, caffeine, and hormonal changes in women.

Treatment of Migraine

Female, 30s
I really appreciate having a symptoms checker like this because it helps me put words to what I'm experiencing. I really appreciate that I can download the report for my doctor because it helps me see what's going on too. Especially with Migraines, I often cannot find the right words to explain my pain. With Ubie, I was able to pinpoint my exact symptoms and have the right words to tell my doctor. It also helped me have something tangible with a time stamp. I have continued to use Ubie for all my symptoms I am tracking.
