Do you sometimes notice a slight relief in pain before it suddenly strikes back harder than before? Well, look no further because we have got some answers for your throbbing questions.

A Brief Introduction to Migraines

Before jumping right into answering one of the most common queries related to migraines, let us first understand what they are. A migraine is a type of headache that can cause severe pain or throbbing sensation, usually on one side of the head. Other symptoms include sensitivity to light or sound, nausea or vomiting, blurred vision and lightheadedness.

Migraines are known to be debilitating at times and can last anywhere from an hour up until three whole days! Ouch!

So What Makes Migraine Pain Come And Go?

Let us break this down for you- The answer is both yes AND no! Confused yet? Us too.

Yes- It comes and Goes!

In typical scenarios where migraines occur without any triggers (more about those later), they tend to follow a pattern called phases:

  1. Prodrome
  2. Aura
  3. Attack
  4. Postdrome

During these phases different symptoms arise causing fluctuation in intensity level/ pain experienced by individuals experiencing migraines . Therefore if your observations coincide with this then kudos – ‘yes, migraine pains do come when experiencing a full-fledged attack’.

No- It does not come AND go at Random intervals.

However, if someone experiences painful sensations but observes no clear indication of fluctuations like increasing severity etc., then They may suffer from ‘chronic daily headaches’. Another possible trigger could be medication overuse which leads to headaches without any prodromal or postdromic phases. ‘No, it doesn’t go away on its own if not identified as a migraine during Attack phase’.

Trigger Identification and Prevention

Knowing your particular triggers can significantly help improve (though maybe not prevent) the frequency of migraines one experiences.
These range from common things like diet, sleep pattern changes to being stress-prone and specific factors such as menstruation cycle’s impact.
