The article from Moneycontrol discusses migraines, a common health issue characterized by intense, throbbing pain on one side of the head. It outlines various types of migraines including migraine with aura, where patients experience visual or sensory disturbances before the headache; migraine without aura; chronic migraines, which occur on more than 15 days per month; and vestibular migraines, which involve vertigo. The piece details symptoms like nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light and sound, and visual disturbances. It also covers complications such as increased risk of stroke, particularly in those with aura, and the potential for medication overuse headaches due to frequent use of pain relief drugs.
