Migraines can last for hours or even days and can be severely debilitating.

The exact cause of migraines is not well understood, but they are thought to be related to changes in the brain and nervous system. It is believed that migraines may be triggered by a variety of factors, including stress, hormonal changes, certain foods or drinks, changes in sleep patterns, and environmental factors such as bright lights or loud noises.
