Answers:
Migraines tend to run in families!.!.!.and are more common in women than men!. They involve a widening of the blood vessels in the head and a tightening of the muscles in the head which irritate the nerves causing a headache!.
Younger people do seem to be more affected probably due to a hormonal relationship ( increased oestrogen)!.!.!.!.!.Migraines can also be triggered by certain foods, stress, pregnancy!.
Nausea & vomitting is a common symptom and not necessarily caused by your drugs,in fact, vomitting sometimes relieves the headache!.
Rest in a quiet dark room, and keep a migraine diary to see if you can figure out what the triggers are for you!. Over the counter pain killers may help, and prophylactics such as beta blockers can be used if migraines are very frequent ( say weekly)
It would pay to have your blood pressure checked a few times to rule out hypertension!.

I used to get them WEEKLY!! But now!.!. since my schedule is more steady and I'm a healthier person in general; my migraines have gone down to perhaps once a month or two!. Migraines usually come about when you are stressed!. Too much thinking and not enough water and certain vitamins cos your brain to stress out!. Thus, causing you to get pains = also known as headaches!. Sometimes people get the worse kind = migraines!. Yes, it's very normal!. For me, migraines run in the family!.!.!.

My advice to you is do not take imitrix!. ONLY take it when you really really can't stand the pain!. The very best thing to do when u get migraines is to SLEEP it off!. The pain actually gets you into bed!. Drink a glass of warm water before u hit the sack!. Get plenty of water and have enough sleep!. Also if you get more regular exercises, this helps a lot too!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I get migraines and i'm 15!. Usually because i'm focusing to hard or i'm too stressed!. I take exedrin migraine but it makes me drowsy but no throwing up!. Don't switch to anything until you talk to your doctor!Www@Answer-Health@Com

i don't know, consult your doctor though!. i get migraines and i'm 17, but it's because of back problems!.
