Migraines are the second most common type of headache after tension headaches.
Women are three times more likely to suffer from migraines than men, with symptoms usually beginning during their teens or in middle-age.
The most apparent symptom is a severe throbbing or pulsating headache that is often felt on one side of the head, though sometimes it can be felt on both sides.
