Migraine

  • Category : Neuro Problems


Migraine is a common neurological disorder that causes recurring episodes of moderate to severe headache, often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light or sound. Unlike ordinary headaches, migraines can significantly affect a person's daily life, making it difficult to work, study, or perform routine activities.

Migraine attacks may last from a few hours to several days and can vary in intensity and frequency. Some individuals experience migraines only occasionally, while others suffer from chronic migraines that occur multiple times each month.

The exact cause of migraine is not fully understood, but genetic, hormonal, environmental, and lifestyle factors are believed to play important roles. Early diagnosis and proper treatment can help reduce the frequency of attacks and improve quality of life.

In West Shalimar Bagh, patients receive comprehensive evaluation and personalized treatment for migraine and other headache disorders.

Dr. Deepak Kothari provides expert care focused on identifying migraine triggers, controlling symptoms, and preventing future attacks.
