What Are Headaches and Migraines?
Headaches and migraines can range from a dull pressure to a debilitating, throbbing pain that takes over your entire day. While headaches are common, they’re not something you should have to live with regularly. Migraines, in particular, can come with nausea, visual disturbances, light or sound sensitivity and fatigue, and often feel impossible to push through.
At MNMC, we take your pain seriously and work to uncover why it keeps showing up. Whether it’s occasional tension headaches or frequent, disabling migraines, we explore what’s happening in your body, because your symptoms are trying to tell you something.
Common Signs and Symptoms
- Pressure or tightness in the head or neck
- Sharp or throbbing pain on one or both sides
- Light, sound or smell sensitivity
- Nausea or vomiting
- Visual changes (aura or blurred vision)
- Fatigue or brain fog
