Stat of the Week
Throbbing pain, often just on one side of the head. Sensitivity to noise and light. Nausea or vomiting. Foggy thinking, exhaustion. These are common symptoms of migraine headaches, which affect millions of people. Much more than just a bad headache, a migraine can last hours or days.
