Some migraines can be indicative of a more serious medical condition. Here is a list of symptoms that would necessitate a visit to a doctor:
- A very sudden headache that gets progressively worse, and may include nausea, vomiting or dizziness (may be caused by a stroke).
- A spontaneous headache that is worse than any other headache (may be caused by an aneurysm).
- Terrible headaches that start after age 50.
- Headaches that are followed by impaired memory or balance, dizziness, numbness or tingling in extremities (may be caused by a stroke).
- Headaches that get worse with coughing or sneezing (may be an infection in the brain).
- Headache that sets in following an injury to the head (may be caused by a hemorrhage).
- Headaches that are present simultaneously with a fever (may be caused by spinal meningitis).
- A pulsating pain around the eye that may spread to the ear or neck and is not alleviated by pain medication (may indicate a blood clot).
Those who suffer from migraines may benefit from Migravent, a dietary supplement made specifically for migraines.

Researchers at Albert Einstein College of Medicine conducted a study of migraine sufferers (Neurology; February 2010). Questionnaires were given to over 6,000 people with migraines and over 5,000 people without. The results indicated a strong correlation between migraines and cardiovascular risk.
Richard B. Lipton and his colleagues found that those who suffered from aura (visual hallucinations) and migraines were three times as likely to experience heart attacks as those without migraines. Furthermore, migraine sufferers were more likely to have diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol, all of which are risk factors for cardiovascular disease.
One of the implications of this study is that doctors need to be aware of a migraine sufferer’s potential health risks, not only quality of life issues.

A migraine is a neurological condition characterized by severe headaches. The word migraine comes from the Old French word migraigne. This French term is based on the Late Latin word hemicrania, which originates from the Greek work hemikrania. The Greek word is a combination of “half” and “skull”.
Most people will search for information on migraines using Google as their primary search engine. According to statistics by Google, over 1, 500,000 people each month search for information using the term “migraine.” Other search terms used include “migraine headache,” which is searched by 135,000 people each month.
Interesting combinations of words are also searched on Google, too. These word groupings include “migraine treatments” (searched by 4,400 each month), “ocular migraine” (searched by 22,000 monthly) and “menstrual migraine” (6,600 monthly).
Sometimes the word “migraine” is misspelled. This results in some very creative ways that information is searched in Google. For example, the misspelled word “migrane” is searched by 74,000 individuals each month! Another form of the same word is “migranes,” which is searched by 27,000 people each month.
We are the manufacturers of Migravent, a dietary supplement that benefits people with migraines.
