Migraines are pulsating headaches that most commonly occur on one side of the head. In some people, they last anywhere from few hours to several days on end and can be detected along with symptoms like:

• Visual disturbances like flashing lights or zig zags
• Blurred vision
• Nausea
• Sensitivity to light and sounds
• Lightheadedness
