What is chronic migraine headaches?

I used to think my frequent head pain was due to some serious brain issue and ended up panicking for weeks. Once I consulted a doctor and got diagnosed with chronic migraine, we managed it with a simple preventative routine. It's very common and highly treatable, so don't worry.

Man, chronic migraines are the worst, especially during exam season. It basically feels like someone is hammering one side of your head while you are trying to stare at a laptop screen. If you get these often, definitely go see a doc instead of just gulping down tea or coffee.

While chronic migraines are usually benign, any long-lasting or frequent head pain should be evaluated by a medical professional to rule out other issues. Please do not diagnose yourself online; book an appointment with a neurologist for a safe and proper assessment.

I've been getting these throbbing headaches almost every second day now and it makes me feel so anxious about my health. Does anyone else also feel nauseous and extremely sensitive to light when these attacks happen, or should I be worried about something else?

My neurologist explained that in chronic migraine, the brain's pain pathways become hypersensitive over time. It requires a dual approach: acute treatment for sudden attacks and daily preventive therapy to reduce the overall frequency of the headaches. Lifestyle tracking is also crucial.

My mother always tells me to apply cold coconut oil or herbal paste on my forehead when my head throbs. While those traditional methods do give some comfort, I always make sure to take the daily preventive medication prescribed by my doctor to manage my chronic migraine.
