The most common type of
vascular headache is
migraine. Migraine headaches are usually
characterized by severe pain on one or both sides of
the head, an upset stomach, and at times disturbed
vision.
Former basketball star Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
remembers experiencing his first migraine at age 14.
The pain was unlike the discomfort of his previous
mild headaches.
"When I got this one I thought, 'This is a
headache'," he says. "The pain was intense and I
felt nausea and a great sensitivity to light. All I
could think about was when it would stop. I sat in a
dark room for an hour and it passed."
