What are Migraines? (HealthSketch)?

A migraine is like a super strong headache that can make everything feel wobbly and not quite right.

Imagine you're playing with your favorite toy, maybe a train set or a ball, but suddenly, it feels like your head is full of balloons popping one after another. That's what happens during a migraine: your brain gets lots of extra signals that make your head really hurt, sometimes even making you feel dizzy or tired.

Sometimes, the pain starts in one part of your head and then spreads out like a wave, kind of like when you pour water into a cup and it flows all over. You might also feel like you're walking through a fog, or maybe everything looks a little blurry, like when you’re wearing sunglasses on a bright day.

Migraines can be caused by different things, sometimes it's something you eat, like chocolate or cheese, or maybe it's the lights in the classroom that make your head feel like it's spinning. They might come after you've been running around outside and then suddenly sit down to rest.

Migraines are not just a regular headache, they're more intense and can last for hours or even days, but with time and care, they can go away, just like the feeling of being tired goes away after a good nap.
