Migraines are twice as prevalent in the population as asthma; in fact it is one of the commonest of chronic disorders.
People with migraines who have suffered strokes should probably avoid medications that constrict blood vessels.
Migraines can be at intervals of between a few days to a year or more and the sufferer is usually symptom free between attacks.

Migraines are usually headaches which feel like a moderate or severe pulsing or throbbing pain, usually one sided, which may increase on movement and can last from 4 hours to 3 days.
Migraines are marked by intense, throbbing pain, sensitivity to light and sometimes nausea and vomiting.
Classic migraines are often preceded by an "aura" of bright light, nausea or vomiting.

If the migraines are milder and less than three times a month,drugs such as an isometheptene containing combination may be prescribed by the doctor.
Generally speaking, migraines are referred to as vascular headaches because they often are related to the blood vessels in the head and neck.
