How does migraine headache differ from tension headache?
Migraine headaches are usually characterized by throbbing or pulsing pain on one side of the head. The symptoms of migraine headache sometimes include sensitivity to light or sound, loss of vision, and nausea. Tension headaches typically cause a dull, steady ache above the eyes or in the back of the head. They are usually accompanied by a feeling of tight head pressure and occasional nausea.
