Migraine symptoms start slow and gradually increase in intensity, giving you a headache so intense on one side of the head that it makes you want to throw up. Many people believe that a migraine is just a headache when in reality, it has many other symptoms. Migraine can give you nausea, vomiting, fatigue, etc. Did you know that almost half of the adult population suffers from migraine, and women are three times more likely to experience migraine<a href=\"https:\/\/my.clevelandclinic.org\/health\/diseases\/5005-migraine-headaches\"><sup>1<\/sup><\/a>? Fortunately, like every problem that comes with a solution, there is a multitude of solutions for migraine.
