Migraines and headaches are two of the most common problems ensued by people, that people suffer from. A headache maybe throbbing and mild, which lasts a few hours, while if some, it might last for days. Massive headaches can be the reasons of tension, emotional changes as well as excess stress, whereas a migraine is a more complex situation, with the blood vessels of the brain enlarging to an extent where it releases chemicals from nerve fibers causing inflammation and severe pain.

2. Eating habits – Another major trigger to a migraine is the food we consume. Tobacco, alcohol, caffeine and fermented foods are the major triggers to this.
3. Other causes – Tension, stress, work pressure and sleeping disorders can also be reasons to nausea and severe headaches.
