4. Nausea
Generally, when you have a headache then you should be able to take some over the counter painkillers and that should be the end of it, but a migraine lasts for a much longer time and comes with a range of other symptoms as you might already have noticed by now: A migraine headache can last for as much as 48 hours and can sometimes go even longer – in which case it’s recommended that you visit your doctor immediately.
There are a few things including Maxalt that can be prescribed which will stop your migraine dead in its tracks. Another symptom that is common to migraines instead of headaches is accompanying nausea that comes with the pain – and this can easily lead to vomiting along with it. The symptom should be gotten under control immediately, as repeated vomiting can quickly lead to even more health problems. Of course, rest always helps too.
