Migraine Headache

Migraine headache
symptoms vary and may occur with or without a warning sign. Before the headache starts, may see spots, wavy lines, or flashing lights. Some people have numbness or a "pins-and-needles" sensation in their hands, arms, or face.
Common symptoms of migraine include:
- Throbbing or pulsating headache on one side of your head.
- Moderate to severe headache intensity.
- Your headache getting worse with routine physical activity.
- Nausea, vomiting, or both.
- Sensitivity to light and noise, and sometimes smells.
There are several types of migraine headaches, each with unique features. For example, some women get migraines before, during, or shortly after their menstrual period.
It can be difficult to distinguish migraines from other types of headaches. Sinus or tension headaches have symptoms similar to those of migraines. Unlike other headaches, however, migraines usually occur on one side of your head, although the side that is affected can shift with each new attack. Migraines are also often accompanied by sensitivity to light and noise.
Migraines may occur along with many other conditions such as asthma or depression.3 More serious conditions, such as tumors or infections, can also cause migraine-like symptoms. Headaches that are caused by more serious health problems are rare.

Young People Going Online For Health Information

The survey found that half (50%) of all online youth have searched the Web for information on specific diseases such as cancer or diabetes. Sensitive, youth-oriented topics are also popular: about four in ten (44%) online youth have turned to the Internet for information about sexual health, including pregnancy, birth control, HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases, and about one in four have looked up information on weight issues (25%), mental health (23%), drugs and alcohol (23%), and violence (23%). Almost all young people who have looked for health information on the Internet say that what they find is useful (94%, including 39% who say it is “very useful”), but they remain skeptical about the quality of online health information in general. When asked about a variety of sources, 17% say they trust health information from the Internet “a lot,” as compared to 85% for doctors, 68% for parents, and 30% for the television news. And although a large majority of young people (73%) say that knowing who produced health information is very important to them, only 29% of those who looked up health information online checked the source the last time they conducted a search
