People get migraine headaches when blood vessels in the head expand, touching nearby pain receptors.
Your genes may also predispose you to getting migraines, and age seems to play a role as well. Most people who get migraines have their first attack before age 30, and migraines often go away after age 50. About ten to 30 minutes before they get a migraine, most people begin to get irritable or restless or nauseated, or lose their appetite. In rare cases, an aura can mimic a stroke, causing weakness, numbness, or difficulty speaking. But for frequent migraines, prescription drugs are probably your best bet, particularly a class of drugs called triptans, which can stop a migraine in its tracks if taken at the first sign of symptoms.
