Migraine is diagnosed based on medical history, symptoms, and a clinical evaluation. No single test can confirm migraine, but doctors may use imaging (MRI or CT scans) or other tests to rule out other conditions that mimic migraine. Keeping a headache diary can help with diagnosis.
Migraine is a chronic neurological condition that currently has no cure. However, it can be effectively managed with lifestyle changes, medications, and preventive treatments to reduce the frequency and severity of attacks.
A migraine attack can last anywhere from 4 to 72 hours if untreated. Some people experience shorter attacks, while others may have prolonged symptoms that persist beyond this timeframe.
Yes, there is a strong connection between migraine and mental health conditions. People with migraine are 2 to 5 times more likely to experience depression and anxiety. The persistent pain, unpredict ability, and social impact of migraine can contribute to mental health challenges.
While migraine itself does not cause stroke, some types, such as migraine with aura, slightly increase the risk of stroke, especially in women who smoke or take oral contraceptives.
Hormonal changes like those during menstruation, pregnancy, or menopause can affect migraine frequency and severity. Drops in estrogen before a period often trigger menstrual migraines. Some women find relief during pregnancy, while others may experience more attacks
Yes, skipping meals or fasting can trigger migraine in some individuals due to fluctuations in blood sugar levels. It is recommended to eat regular, balanced meals to prevent migraine attacks.
Some people find relief with herbal or traditional remedies, but scientific evidence on their effectiveness is limited. Always consult a healthcare professional before trying any alternative treatments, as some may have side effects or interact with medications.
