Unlike normal headaches, its main symptoms are throbbing pain felt on only one side of the head, sensitivity to light and sound, nausea, and vomiting. A migraine attack can last for hours or days. Here are the 5 main scientific reasons behind it:<\/p>\n<p>Trigeminal nerve stimulation and serotonin imbalance: The most important scientific reason for migraine is a change in the chemicals in the brain. During a migraine, the trigeminal nerve, which is the main nerve in the brain, is stimulated. This causes a sudden decrease in the level of the hormone serotonin in the brain. When serotonin levels drop, blood vessels in the brain dilate (vasodilation) and release chemicals that cause severe swelling. This is what causes severe headaches.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u0d35\u0d2f\u0d7c \u0d15\u0d47\u0d1f\u0d3e\u0d15\u0d41\u0d28\u0d4d\u0d28\u0d24\u0d41\u0d15\u0d4a\u0d23\u0d4d\u0d1f\u0d3e\u0d23\u0d4b \u0d2e\u0d48\u0d17\u0d4d\u0d30\u0d48\u0d7b? \ud83d\ude32 \u0d12\u0d30\u0d41 \u0d17\u0d4d\u0d32\u0d3e\u0d38\u0d4d \u0d15\u0d41\u0d1f\u0d3f\u0d1a\u0d4d\u0d1a\u0d3e\u0d7d \u0d35\u0d2f\u0d31\u0d41\u0d02 \u0d15\u0d4d\u0d32\u0d40\u0d7b, \u0d24\u0d32\u0d35\u0d47\u0d26\u0d28\u0d2f\u0d41\u0d02 \u0d15\u0d41\u0d31\u0d2f\u0d41\u0d02!

In 70 to 80 percent of people with migraines, someone in the family (mother or father) has this problem. If one parent has migraines, the risk of their children developing it is 50%; if both parents have it, it can be up to 75%.<\/p>\n<p>Hormonal Fluctuations in Women: Migraines are about 3 times more common in women than in men. This is due to changes in the levels of the hormone estrogen in women. A sharp decrease in estrogen hormone during the days before menstruation, during pregnancy, and during menopause can cause severe migraine attacks.<\/p>\n<p>Stress &amp; Sleep Disturbances: Stress and anxiety are major triggers of migraines in today&#8217;s busy lifestyle. Eye strain from staring at a computer screen for long periods of time, not sleeping on time, oversleeping, or sleep disturbances can irritate the nerves in the brain and lead to migraine headaches.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u0d35\u0d2f\u0d7c \u0d15\u0d47\u0d1f\u0d3e\u0d15\u0d41\u0d28\u0d4d\u0d28\u0d24\u0d41\u0d15\u0d4a\u0d23\u0d4d\u0d1f\u0d3e\u0d23\u0d4b \u0d2e\u0d48\u0d17\u0d4d\u0d30\u0d48\u0d7b? \ud83d\ude32 \u0d12\u0d30\u0d41 \u0d17\u0d4d\u0d32\u0d3e\u0d38\u0d4d \u0d15\u0d41\u0d1f\u0d3f\u0d1a\u0d4d\u0d1a\u0d3e\u0d7d \u0d35\u0d2f\u0d31\u0d41\u0d02 \u0d15\u0d4d\u0d32\u0d40\u0d7b, \u0d24\u0d32\u0d35\u0d47\u0d26\u0d28\u0d2f\u0d41\u0d02 \u0d15\u0d41\u0d31\u0d2f\u0d41\u0d02!
