How do I know it's a migraine?

A migraine usually feels different from other headaches. You might have:

• Pain on one side of your head

• Throbbing or pulsing pain

• Feeling sick or throwing up

• Not liking light, sound, or smells

• Trouble seeing clearly (like zigzag lines or spots)

If these happen often, it could be migraine. A doctor or pharmacist can help you figure it out.

Final Thoughts

Migraines are common, but they are different for each person. Learning how your body feels before, during, and after a migraine can help you manage it better. If you think you or someone in your family has migraines, speak with a doctor or pharmacist. Help is available—and you're not alone.
