Migraine mostly affects the forehead area, usually on one side of the head but can occur on both sides or shift. Women are more likely to have migraines than men. The most common risk factor is family history. Migraine triggers include stress, exercise, hormonal changes, and certain foods and drinks. Acute migraine is also known as episodic migraine, which may cause headaches up to 14 days a month. People with acute migraines have fewer headaches in a month than people with chronic headaches.
