Common migraines - This type comes without any warning signs. A throbbing headache begins and the location of the headache varies. The pain may be on both sides of the head, or it may shift from side to side. Nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and noise usually accompany the headache. Migraines can begin at any age, but most develop them around adolescence or in the 20's.
Most migraine sufferers have a family history of migraine.
While migraines may be excruciatingly painful, the vast majority of them pose no serious health risks. However, not all painful headaches are migraines, and some can be indicative of more serious medical problems. You should always get a proper diagnosis from your doctor. Frequency varies, and to some extent depends on the individual. In general, common migraines are said to occur more frequently than classic ones, and no matter, the frequency usually decreases with age.
