Migraine Prevention & Migraine Treatment
|
The condition known as "migraine" is much more than a tension headache or a simple headache. Migraine headaches can range from mild to severe, are usually felt on one side of your head, and are generally not life-threatening. Migraine headaches are part of a larger condition known as "migraine." A migraine attack typically involves a headache, but often has other symptoms, and can last from 4 hours to 3 days.
The latest data show that approximately 28 million Americans suffer from migraine headaches - about 12% of the entire population. While they affect both young and old, migraine headaches are most common among those 20 to 40 years old. In the United States, migraine headaches are three times more common in women than in men. An estimated 7 million men in the U.S. also suffer from migraine.
There's a difference between treating migraines and helping to prevent them.
Preventing means taking a daily prescription medicine to help reduce the number of migraines you get.
Ask your doctor about the risks and benefits of migraine prevention and see if it's right for you.
