Migraine

Overview

Any headache can be miserable, but migraines can be disabling. Your pain may be severe, and you may be unusually sensitive to light or noises. You may feel nauseated and even vomit. Migraines typically last four hours or longer if untreated. Although there's no cure, your Mayo Clinic doctor can help you manage migraine symptoms.
