Migraine
Migraine is a primary headache disorder characterized by recurrent headaches that are moderate to severe it is a recurrent throbbing headache that typically affects one side of the head and is often accompanied by nausea and disturbed vision. As per Davidson’s, it is best to look upon migraine as triad of paroxysmal headache, vomiting and focal neurological events (usually visual).
Migraines occur in about 17 percent of the population and are also more common in women. “Migraine headaches often tend to be one-sided and associated with light sensitivity. Migraines are more severe than sinus headaches and symptoms may include nausea and vomiting.
Those with just paroxysmal headache with or without vomiting but no classical focal events are said to have common Migraine.
Typically, the headaches affect one half of the head,

Eye pain
