VA News – Migraines are intense, throbbing head pains that can hit any time, lasting from hours to days, and women tend to experience migraines more frequently and intensely than men.
Migraines can be a warning sign of something more serious. If you experience any of the following, head to the ER right away:
- A headache that starts suddenly and escalates within 1-2 minutes.
- Weakness, numbness or trouble speaking.
- A level of pain you’ve never felt before.
