Is Your Headache Actually Migraine? Watch For These Signs
Severe Throbbing Pain — Usually One Side
Migraine pain is pulsating and typically affects one side of the head. It is worsened by routine activity like walking or climbing stairs.
Light, Sound and Smell Sensitivity
During an attack, ordinary light feels blinding and normal sounds feel unbearable. Many patients need to retreat to a dark, quiet room.
Nausea and Vomiting
Nausea is a hallmark of migraine and a key distinguishing feature from tension headache. Some patients vomit, which can temporarily relieve the pain.
Attacks Last 4 to 72 Hours
Without treatment, a migraine attack typically lasts between 4 and 72 hours. Frequent attacks (15+ days per month) are classified as chronic migraine.
Visual Aura Before the Headache
About 30% of patients experience an aura — zigzag lines, flashing lights or blind spots — for 20–60 minutes before the headache begins.
Migraine Treatment at Pulse Heart Hospital, Miyapur
Accurate Diagnosis First
A detailed headache history and structured ICHD-3 classification to correctly identify migraine type and rule out secondary headache causes.
Preventive Therapy
For patients with 4+ attacks per month, evidence-based preventive medications (propranolol, topiramate, amitriptyline) are prescribed to reduce frequency significantly.
Acute Rescue Plan
A personalised attack-management plan including triptans — the gold standard for aborting migraine — is prescribed so you are never caught unprepared.
Trigger Identification & Lifestyle Advice
Systematic identification of dietary, hormonal, sleep-related and stress triggers, followed by practical management strategies tailored to your lifestyle.
Botox for Chronic Migraine
USFDA-approved OnabotulinumtoxinA (Botox) injections every 12 weeks for patients with chronic migraine who have not responded to oral preventive therapy.
