What exactly is a migraine headache?
A migraine headache usually starts out dull and then eventually becomes a throbbing constant pulsating pain in the temples, front of the head or base of the head. Migraines are sometimes but not always accompanied by nausea and vomiting. Some people may experience an aura. An aura is wavy or jagged lines, or dots of flashing lights. You may also experience tunnel vision or blind spots.
