A member asked:
What could i do to find out if it's just a "headache" or if it's really a migraine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Migraine vs headache: You should see a neurologist concerning the history of your headache, symptoms, relief and frequency of attacks. Migraines are very specific in character and often have auras, headache, nausea and sometimes vomiting if severe enough.
