Headaches can be excruciatingly painful, delaying our day or perhaps our entire week. If you’re experiencing pain, you might be wondering whether you’re having a headache or a migraine. TeleFirst Med will explain the major distinctions between migraines and headaches.

• Pain Location

  When you have a headache, you will most likely experience pain and pressure in the forehead and scalp and sometimes in the area where the spine and skull meet. A migraine will most likely cause pain on only one side of your head. You may have pain on both sides of your head, but the pain will most likely be stronger on one side.

• Migraines can Last 4 to 72 Hours

  When you’re ill and congested, a common headache can continue as long as you’re sick. Migraines, however, can persist anywhere from 4 to 72 hours if left untreated. If you get a migraine that lasts more than 72 hours, you should contact your Telehealth Provider in North Carolina and explain what’s going on.

• Migraines can Disrupt Your Everyday Life

  If you have a headache, you may usually treat it with ibuprofen or another type of pain reliever and go about your business. There’s a limited chance you’ll be able to do your everyday tasks if you have a migraine. Severe symptoms, such as light sensitivity and nausea, may need you to stay in bed for a few days.
