Describe migraine headaches
What will be an ideal response?
Migraines are believed to be neurovascular in origin, and are experienced more frequently by women than men. They are typically felt more on one side of the head. These painful headaches (i.e., migraines) may be accompanied by feelings of nausea and auras such as unusual lights or odors. It is a common belief that headaches, especially tension-type headaches (TTHs), are stress related. But does the research support this belief? Research suggests that TTHs are related to proximal (i.e., near term) stressors and that development of migraine headache patterns are related to distal (i.e., distant term) stressors.
