Understanding Migraine
Migraines are not “just headaches".
They are a neurological condition that can affect the whole body. Along with head pain, migraines can bring nausea, sensitivity to light or sound, vision changes, and even difficulty speaking or concentrating.
An estimated 1 in 7 people worldwide experience migraines, making them one of the most common and disabling health conditions.
At VitiVitamins, we believe that knowledge is power. Understanding what’s really happening during a migraine can help you feel more in control and more supported.
Did You Know?
Migraines affect over 1 billion people worldwide, making them one of the most common neurological conditions.
What Causes Migraine
Migraines are complex, and the exact cause is still being studied. What we do know is that migraines happen when changes in the brain and nervous system trigger an abnormal response.
Hormones
Fluctuations in estrogen, especially around menstruation.
Stress
Both physical and emotional stress can spark an episode.
Environment
Bright lights, strong smells, and changes in weather.
Diet
Certain foods and drinks like red wine, chocolate, or processed meats.
Sleep
Too much or too little sleep can trigger attacks.

• Women are 3x more likely to experience migraines than men.
• Migraines often run in families, with genetics playing a major role.
Types of Migraine
Not all migraines look or feel the same. Knowing which type you may experience can help you and your doctor find better ways to manage them.
Migraine without Aura
Intense headache, nausea, light/sound sensitivity.
Migraine with Aura
Includes warning signs like flashing lights, tingling, or speech difficulty before the headache starts.
Vestibular Migraine
Dizziness, vertigo, and balance problems with or without headache.
Chronic Migraine
Migraines on 15 or more days each month for over 3 months.
Common Areas Affected
For migraines, the common areas affected are:
-
One side of the head (often behind the eye or temple).
-
Forehead or around the eyes.
-
Back of the head or neck (less common but possible).
Some people feel the pain shift from one side to the other, or experience it on both sides during different attacks.
Age of onset:
Some people have “silent migraines” aura and other symptoms without the head pain.
