Some people who get migraine have warning symptoms called an aura before actual headache begins. An aura is group of symptoms, usually vision disturbance that serve as awarding sign that abed headache is coming. Most people however, do not have such warning signs.

A lot of people get migraines, about 11 out of 100.The headaches tend to start between the ages 10 and 46.Migraines occur more often in women than men. Pregnancy may reduce the number of migraines attacks. At least 60 percent of women with a history of migraines.

A migraine attack can be triggered by stress, food, enviromental changes or some others factor. Although there is no cure for migraines, you can often reduce and possibly prevent some migraines. There are drugs available to treat a migraines taking aspirin along with a drug that helps such as metoclopramide .You may also avoiding the triggers that lead to migraines like drinking red wine and getting too much or littlie sleep.
