Tired of Dealing with Migraines? We Can Help.
Migraines can be more than just headaches—they often disrupt daily life with intense pain, nausea, and sensitivity to light and sound. If you suffer from frequent or severe migraines, you’re not alone. At Mississippi Neurological Institute in Jackson, MS, our experienced neurologist provides thorough evaluations and customized treatment plans to help you find lasting relief.
What is a Migraine?
A migraine is a neurological condition that causes moderate to severe headaches, often on one side of the head. Migraines can last for hours or even days and are typically accompanied by additional symptoms, such as nausea and sensitivity to light or sound.
There are several types of migraines, including:
- Migraine without aura (common migraine)
- Migraine with aura (classic migraine, often includes visual disturbances)
- Chronic migraine (headaches 15 or more days per month)
- Hemiplegic migraine (temporary paralysis or weakness on one side of the body)
- Vestibular migraine (dizziness or balance issues)
Common Migraine Symptoms
- Throbbing or pulsating headache pain, often on one side
- Sensitivity to light, sound, or smells
- Nausea or vomiting
- Blurred vision or visual disturbances (aura)
- Dizziness or balance problems
- Tingling or numbness in the face or extremities
- Fatigue and difficulty concentrating
When Should You See a Neurologist for Migraines?
If you experience migraines more than a few times per month, if over-the-counter medications aren’t working, or if your headaches are interfering with daily life, it’s time to see a neurologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
