a migraine is much more worst headache which is in the eye, this is why you may feel sick, loose balance and feel that the pain is more seveir as the eye is more sensative
Migraines can make you vomit.
They also can stop you from doing anything except curling up in the fetus position and begging for death to relieve the pain and sickness.
I don’t know what’s going on in the brain, but I cracked my skull open in a car accident and I’ve had some really powerful migraines since.
They are no fun.
I have no idea but felt i had to reply if only to respond to paul rules, who has obviously never had a migrane and never experienced the excrutiating pain that u simply cannot relieve, the flashing lights and the sickness that they cause.
They can be crippling and whilst the migrane may go for the next few days your head feels bruised and you still feel crappy…dont judge people and dont comment on things you know nothing about!!!!!!!!!!!!
And wayne, how sad just to copy someone elses answer cause you arent intelligent enough to think of one yourself!!
migraine concentrates on the forehead while a normal headache could take any side of the head. Commonly migraines won’t go after taking Tylenol or Advil but prescriptions or a head scan
Migraines are stronger. Everyone has different reactions but some of the most common as sensitivity to light and loud sounds/noise and nausea. In extreme cases people pass out from them, loose their vision temporarily, and throw up. I’m sure if you google it you’ll get a better idea. Medical questions should always be left to the expert though. A lot of know it all’s out there and you may get a wrong or misleading answer. Good Luck!
A Migraine is a type of headache but it is a headache in a severe state. It last longer and sometimes it is hereditary that is if your family has a history of migraine Headaches you can too. Normal headache may just be an indication of sometime wrong with the body for example you may be experiencing stress and you may be hungry the pain will go away as soon as you solve the problem and therefore it is only temporary, but there are no reasons for migraines they can come on at any time and can last a while therefore only medication will help. This is just my personal experience.
Migraines are usualy caused by visual sensitivity and/or caffeine or chocolate (or allergies to stimulants). You got over stimulated and you get a migraine (that is why you feel better in a dark room with very little noise!)
General headaches are caused by either dehydration or muscular tension.
Clearly the people who said there is no difference have never had a migraine. I get regular headaches, severe headaches and migraines (yippee!!). Regular headaches tend to go away after a little while and I can function okay, they’re more of a nuisance than anything. Severe headaches last for a day or so and can be quiet painful at times. With migraines I can barely move, get very sick and just have to lie there hoping I can sleep it off.
In the same way that a sprain is different from a broken bone, a headache is different than a migrane. Unfortunately doctors don’t really know what causes them although they are aware of triggers for them.
And to Paul Rules, you have obviously never had one. I want you to imagine the worst hangover you ever had. I’m talking full blown nausea, sensitivity to light and sound and a screaming pain in your head that won’t go away no matter what you do and multiply it by 10. Then have it last for anywhere from 24 to 36 hours and you’ll get the idea that it’s not just a headache.
If the idea of sticking a shotgun up your @$$ and discharging it fills you with a sense of relief, then it’s a migrane.
If you want to claw your eyes out because you feel like there’s a steel spike running through them and into your brain, then it’s a migrane.
If you’ve ever thought of drilling a hole in your head to relieve the pressure, then it’s a migrane.
If you take an advil and it goes away, then it’s just a headache.
Migraines are the worst. I long for a normal headache or the flu! You cannot do anything when you have a migraine except sleep, you can’t watch tv or bare bright lights. My pet **** is people who think migraines are just bad headaches. The head ache part of the migraine is actual;ly the most bearable bit of it, its the sickness, dizziness and vertigo that is unbearable. all those who say a migraine is just a headache, i hoipe you suffer one someday you evil lot.
I’ve never wished anyone a migraine before, but the now I do to Paul and Wayne! You punks have obviously never experienced a migraine. It is an excrutiating pain that debilitates the person to the point that you may wish you were dead! It also affects your stomach and your eye sight. Over the counter medicine will not help, only prescription medicine IF you take it as soon as the pain has started. Otherwise, you will be stuck with the migraine possibly for days!
Migraines are a type of headache- a vascular headache. They are also more common in women. There are many different types of headaches including:
Tension headache
Migraine
Ictal headache
Brain freeze (also known as: ice cream headache)
Thunderclap headache
Vascular headache
Toxic headache
Coital cephalalgia (also known as: *** headache)
Sinus headache
Hemicrania continua
Rebound headache (also called medication overuse headache, abbreviated MOH)
Red Wine Headache
Which all are some sort of headache, going into a group as either vascular, muscular/myogenic, cervicogenic or traction and inflammatory.
Migraine headaches are usually characterized by severe pain on one or both sides of the head. Absent serious head injuries, stroke, and tumors, the recurring severity of the pain indicates a vascular headache rather than a tension headache. Migraines are often accompanied by photophobia (hypersensitivity to light), phonophobia (hypersensitivity to sound) and nausea.
Just want to say to those idios out there that think a migraine is a bad headache. i have had migraines since i was a kid. first what would happen is that i get a blurry spot in my eye, then i wouldnt know where i am or what i was doing and even wouldnt reckonise people. i would then have extreme numbness down one side of my body including toes and tongue, then a massive headache with vomiting every 20 mins even though i didnt need to. i lie bed crying with pain in my teens untill 24 hours had passed. now i go through everyday worrying about getting another one making myself depressed and ill. So the F*ucking idiots out there dont answer if you dont know what your talking about, Hope to god one day they find a proper cure.
Migraines are worse because they can last longer and you can feel awful eg sick pains in eyes, i have headaches like this and the only way to get rid of headache was to be sick IE vomit, i don’t know what it does to our brains as im not a doctor or anyone who masters in the brain, i can only tell my experiences with them, they can be triggered by alot of stress as well.
Obviously some of these people have NEVER had a migraine so they don’t know the difference . There is a huge difference between a migraine and a normal headache! Give me a headache over a migraine any day. It has nothing to do with being a wimp . It is a medical condition. I go to a neurologist who finally came up with the right course of treatment for me. They are horrible.And extremely painful . Don ‘t make fun of someone because they have them,its just because you never have ,be thankful. And no ,its nothing like a regular headache. You need to be seen by your neurologist to explain to you about your migraine and get a course of treatment to lessen your pain.It won’t totally control the migraines ,but it will lesson the intensity and the amount of or the frequency of the times you have them.
There is a big difference between migraine and headache…First, migraine is experienced after being into stress or tiring activities,while headaches usually has its onset during the course of activity.Second, headaches can be easily trimmed down by taking pain relievers…with migraine,pain relievers cannot work alone,rather rest, a cold compress, and a lot of water intake…most of people experiencing migraine has the disease known as migraine equivalence…such symptoms are as follows: 1.) tremors, 2.) striking head pain 3.) wanting to vommit 4.) eye strain and 5.) feeling of hotness…now, be able to differentiate the two…
Migraines are a neurological condition – the headache pain is only one symptom of them. You are likely to have visual disturbance (caused by sudden constriction and dilation of the blood vessels behind the eye) with blind spots or zig zags,double vision, your liver stops processing as it should up to 24 hours before your headache arrives, you may have vertigo, paralysis, vomit, mental confusion, can’t bear any light and a whole host of other symptoms – all quite serious and debilitating. Some rarer types of migraine (basilar) can make you more likely to be a victim of a stroke.
The upside is that migraneurs are sensitive and highly intelligent individuals and that is evident on the comments posted by migraneurs versus the non migraneurs on this page!
Headaches are usually caused by external factors such as caffeine, smoking, poor diet, stress. As a result the brain doesn’t get enough oxygen from the blood because all those things make it harder for blood to move through the blood vessels. But they will eventually work their way out of your system. A true migraine is the result of blood vessels that are formed to small and the body cannot fix that on its own so it gives you more severe symptoms to make you take notice of that fact
Migraine.. makes me vomit and my tummy is upset at the same time, I see bright fuzzy lights and my hearing is no good either.
A headache, to me is a numbness in my temples..
A migraine is a symptom of the beginning of side vision loss. With a migraine you will experience a drain of energy and sensitivity to light and sound. It will begin slowly, but be forceful and can last a very few minutes to days at a time.
A headache will come very fast, and can be a dull throbbing pain in your head that can last a few hours.
There’s no difference! A Migrane is basically a bad headache and the sufferer is just a wimp so complains more!

a headache is pressure of the brain muscles a migraine happens in the nerves of the brain causing more pain
