preliminary self-diagnosis Do we have migraine headaches?

Who has frequent headaches Sometimes it feels like a headache on one side. But I’m not sure if it’s a migraine or not. Try to diagnose yourself initially based on the criteria set by the International Headache Society (IHS) which are: 

• Headache persists for 4 hours – 3 days.
• Headache on one side, throbbing headache, severe headache that can’t work
• have a headache with nausea, vomiting, allergy to light or noise

If you have 2 out of 3 of these symptoms, be suspicious and assess yourself first. We may have migraine headaches.
