Understanding migraines: symptoms, causes, and treatment options

Learn about common migraine symptoms, types of migraines, triggers, and ways to manage and treat migraines effectively.

Recognising migraine symptoms

Recognising migraine symptoms

Migraine symptoms can vary widely between individuals, but some patterns are common. Most migraines cause moderate to severe throbbing pain, typically on one side of the head. Other symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light (photophobia) and sound (phonophobia), and difficulty concentrating.

Some people experience visual disturbances known as “aura” before the headache starts. Auras can appear as flashing lights, blind spots, zigzag patterns, or temporary vision loss. In some cases, migraines can also cause dizziness, weakness, or speech disturbances.

Recognising early signs of a migraine is important. Some patients notice warning symptoms hours or even days before the headache, such as mood changes, neck stiffness, food cravings, or frequent yawning. Understanding these signs can help you take action early.

What causes migraines?

What causes migraines?

The exact cause of migraines isn’t fully understood, but several factors are known to contribute. Genetics plays a significant role — if a close family member has migraines, your risk is higher. Changes in brain chemicals, such as serotonin, can also influence migraine development.

Common triggers include hormonal changes (especially in women), stress, poor sleep, skipping meals, dehydration, certain foods (like aged cheeses or chocolate), alcohol, and environmental factors such as bright lights or strong smells. Tracking your personal triggers can be an important part of managing migraines.

It’s important to remember that not every migraine is triggered by the same factors. A detailed review of your lifestyle, habits, and environmental exposures can help identify patterns specific to your case.

Different types of migraines

Different types of migraines

Migraines are not all the same. There are several different types that may require slightly different approaches to diagnosis and treatment.

Migraines with aura involve visual, sensory, or language disturbances before the headache phase. Ocular migraines, sometimes called retinal migraines, cause temporary vision loss or disturbances in one eye. Vestibular migraines primarily cause dizziness, balance problems, and vertigo rather than severe headache pain.

Other types include chronic migraines, where headaches occur more than 15 days a month, and hemiplegic migraines, which mimic stroke symptoms. Identifying the specific type of migraine helps doctors create a more targeted treatment plan.

Migraine relief: managing attacks

Migraine relief: managing attacks

Managing migraines involves both relieving acute attacks and preventing future episodes. For immediate relief, over-the-counter medications such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen may help mild migraines. Specific migraine medications, such as triptans, are often prescribed for moderate to severe cases.

Non-medication strategies can also support relief: resting in a quiet, dark room, applying cold compresses, staying hydrated, and practicing relaxation techniques can reduce symptoms. Some patients benefit from preventive medications if migraines are frequent or disabling.

Personalised migraine management plans often combine medication with lifestyle adjustments, such as regular sleep patterns, stress reduction strategies, and trigger avoidance. Early intervention when symptoms begin can help shorten the attack and lessen its intensity.

When to seek help for migraines

When to seek help for migraines

While occasional migraines may not require medical attention, you should consult a healthcare provider if your migraines are frequent, severe, or changing in character. Signs that require medical evaluation include migraines occurring more than 4 times a month, migraines that worsen over time, or migraines that no longer respond to usual treatments.

Additionally, if you experience new symptoms such as sudden vision changes, weakness, speech difficulties, or confusion, seek immediate care — these may indicate more serious neurological conditions.

Migraine treatment options range from acute medications and preventive therapies to behavioural therapy and lifestyle modifications. Working with a doctor experienced in migraine care helps you build an effective, safe plan to reduce the frequency and severity of migraines over time.

Migraine consultation – frequently asked questions

Find out how to book a migraine consultation online, what symptoms to mention, and whether you can get a triptan prescription or preventive treatment

How do I book a migraine consultation online?
You can book a migraine consultation online in minutes. Choose a migraine specialist or general practitioner on Oladoctor, select a suitable time, and describe your symptoms in a short intake form. This helps the doctor prepare for your appointment and ensures a tailored approach to your migraine treatment.
What symptoms should I mention during my migraine consultation?
Mention key details such as how often your migraines occur, the intensity and duration of each episode, whether you experience migraine with aura, and what triggers your symptoms. Include information about nausea, light sensitivity, vision changes, and any medications you’ve tried. This supports a more accurate diagnosis and treatment plan.
Can I get a prescription for migraine medication online?
Yes — if clinically appropriate. During your online consultation, the doctor may prescribe acute migraine treatments like triptans (e.g. sumatriptan) or preventive options such as topiramate or beta blockers. All prescriptions comply with local regulations and are based on your health history.
What is the difference between a consultation with a neurologist and a general practitioner?
A neurologist can diagnose complex cases, chronic migraine, or when symptoms suggest other neurological disorders. A general practitioner is suitable for occasional migraines or follow-up advice. Both types of doctors can provide treatment recommendations and prescriptions when appropriate.
Can I request preventive migraine treatment online?
Yes. If you experience frequent attacks or chronic migraine, the doctor may recommend preventive medication to reduce intensity and frequency. Common options include topiramate, amitriptyline, or lifestyle modifications. A specialist may also suggest follow-up tests if needed.
What are the most common medications prescribed for migraines?
Doctors may prescribe triptans, NSAIDs, topiramate, beta blockers, or amitriptyline depending on your symptoms. Preventive medications are usually offered when migraines are frequent or disabling. Your doctor will consider your medical history before recommending treatment.
When should I seek emergency care instead of an online consultation?
Seek immediate care if you experience sudden severe headache, weakness on one side of the body, confusion, difficulty speaking, or loss of consciousness. These symptoms could indicate a neurological emergency and require urgent in-person evaluation.
