Unless you suffer from migraines yourself, you may think that having a migraine means having a really bad headache. But debilitating head pain is only one part of the medical condition called migraine disorder. Other common symptoms are nausea, dizziness, fatigue, sensitivity to light and sound, and even temporary blindness. The symptoms and causes of migraine look different in different patients, and researchers are only now beginning to understand what the condition is and how to treat it. Here are some of the most enlightening facts we know about migraine disorder.<\/p>\n

1. IT\u2019S THE THIRD MOST COMMON DISEASE IN THE WORLD.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Even if you don\u2019t suffer from migraine, chances are you know someone who does: The disorder\u00a0<\/strong>affects\u00a014.7 percent<\/a>\u00a0of the population, or one in seven people, around the world. In the U.S. alone, roughly\u00a039 million people<\/a>\u00a0are affected by the condition.\u00a0Chronic migraine<\/a>(experiencing at least 15 headache days per month over a three-month period, with over half being migraines) is more rare, impacting about 2 percent of the world population.<\/p>\n

Of the one billion people on Earth who have migraine disorder, three-fourths are women. Medical experts suspect this has to do with the cyclical nature of female hormones. According to\u00a0research<\/a>\u00a0presented earlier in 2018, NHE1, the protein that regulates the transfer of protons and sodium ions across cell membranes, is a crucial component of migraine headaches. NHE1 production likely fluctuates a lot more in women than in men. When scientists looked at the brains of lab rats, they found that NHE1 levels were lowest when estrogen was at its peak.
