Nausea, with or without vomiting, as well as sensitivity to light and sound often accompany migraines. Typically, an aura involves a disturbance in vision that may consist of brightly colored or blinking lights in a pattern that moves across the field of vision. About one in five migraine sufferers experiences an aura. Usually, migraine attacks are occasional, or sometimes as often as once or twice a week, but not daily. They are distinct from migraine and tension-type headaches.
Cluster headaches come in groups or clusters lasting weeks or month.
The pain is extremely severe but the attack is brief, lasting no more than a hour or two. The pain centers around one eye, and this eye may be inflamed and watery. There may also be nasal congestion on the affected side of the face. A history of heavy smoking and drinking is common, and alcohol often triggers attacks. Rebound Headache Rebound headache may occur among people with tension-type headaches as well as in those with migraines.
