They often become chronic, a turn of events often associated with overuse of medicines. Migraine headaches are the third most common disabling condition in the United States, affecting more than 28,000,000 people, 3/4 of whom are women. One third of these people began experiencing headaches before age 12. Vomiting, nausea, dizziness and painful experience of light (photophobia), are common symptoms in headaches lasting 12-48 hours.
