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.

- Stressed over daily life

- Headache worsens with insufficient sleep
- Headache
- Headache worsens in crowded places

Diagnostic Questions for Migraine
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
- Do you feel more tired in the morning?
- Do you feel stressed or unhappy about going to work or school?
- Does stress or anxiety make your headache worse?
- Do headaches worsen with lack of sleep?
- Do you have headaches or a heavy feeling in your head?
Treatment of Migraine
Treatment of this condition aims to stop attacks and prevent future attacks. Medicines to stop an ongoing migraine include painkillers, caffeine-containing pills, and anti-nausea drugs. Knowing your own triggers is important to prevent future attacks. The doctor may prescribe migraine prevention pills as well.

Male, 20s
My experience was great. I was worried, but the symptom checker helped me narrow down what it might be. I feel a little relieved compared to when I first started, and it gives me a starting point for what my symptoms could mean.

Male, 50s
The questions asked and possible causes seemed spot on, putting me at ease for a next-step solution.
(Sep 26, 2024)
Female, 40s
I was actually very impressed with the results it provided because, although I didn’t mention it during the questionnaire because I thought it was unrelated, it suggested I may have something I’ve actually been diagnosed with in the past.
