Migraine: A migraine is a common type of headache that may occur with symptoms such as nausea, vomiting,
or sensitivity to light. In many people, a throbbing pain is felt only on one side of the head. Some people who
get migraines have warning symptoms, called an aura, before the actual headache begins. An aura is a group
of symptoms, including vision disturbances that are a warning sign that a bad headache is coming.
