A migraine is a type of headache that's often severe. Although any head pain can be miserable, migraines are often disabling. In about 15 percent of cases, these painful headaches are preceded by a sensory warning sign (aura), such as flashes of light, blind spots or tingling in your arm or leg. Migraines are also often accompanied by other symptoms, such as nausea, vomiting and extreme sensitivity to light and sound. Migraine pain can be excruciating and may incapacitate you for hours or even days.

Most of the medical researchers claim that migraine pain could be due to variation in serotonin level. Serotonin is a brain chemical that is said to have its effect on blood vessels going to brain. Blood vessels keep swelling and shrinking due to varying level of serotonin. This variation beyond the normal range results in to migraine. But, factual evidences have not yet proved the perfection of this medical theory regarding migraine.
