Migraine is a common health condition, affecting around one in every 5 women and one in every 15 men. There are 3 types of migraine:
- migraine with aura: where there are specific warning signs just before the migraine begins, such as seeing flashing lights
- migraine without aura: the most common type, where the migraine occurs without the specific warning signs
- migraine aura without headache (silent migraine) - where an aura or other migraine symptoms are experienced, but a headache doesn't develop.
The tips in our video can be used for migraine with aura and migraine without aura. But please note that these tips are not a substitute for going to the doctor. If migraines happen frequently, see your doctor.
