Could my severe, one-sided headaches?which occur every four days, spread to my neck, cause constant nausea and trouble sleeping, are triggered by sunlight and smells, and improve after taking two tablets of Migranil 350mg?be migraines rather than regular headaches?
Yes, your symptoms?severe, one-sided pain, nausea, sensitivity to light and smells, and neck discomfort?are classic signs of migraines rather than standard headaches. It is very common for migraines to cause these disruptive symptoms and interrupt your sleep. While Migranil (which contains ergotamine and paracetamol) helps relieve your pain, using it frequently can sometimes lead to medication-overuse headaches. Since these episodes occur every four days, I gently encourage you to consult a doctor.
