Where is the pain in a migraine headache?

Since my college days, I've had these really bad headaches, but recently they've gotten worse. My friend said it sounds like a migraine. Where do people usually feel the pain with a migraine headache, exactly?

Migraine pain is no joke, very different from a normal headache. For me, it's usually one-sided, a throbbing pain often behind my eye or temple. I also find certain foods can trigger it, so I try to be careful with my diet, just like managing my sugar.

Yaar, for me it's like a hammer hitting one side of my head, usually the right side. And sometimes I feel super dizzy and nauseous with it too. Horrible feeling, honestly.

It's often a very intense throbbing pain, usually on one side of the head, dear. Hope you find some relief soon.

My son gets migraines sometimes, and he says it feels like a pulsing pain behind his eye or all over one half of his head. He also gets very sensitive to light and sound. We usually make him lie down in a dark, quiet room.

Ugh, a migraine can ruin everything! How can you even enjoy a good biryani or your favourite chai when your head is throbbing like that? It's usually a very focused, intense pain, often near the front or side of the head.

I totally get it, migraines are the worst. For me, it's a severe, pulsating pain, mostly on one side of my head, and I feel super dizzy and sensitive to everything. It's truly debilitating.
