Severe, throbbing head pain, sensitivity to light, nausea etc are just some of the symptoms the millions of migraine sufferers in the world regularly endure. Researchers now say that women who suffer from migraine could be more at risk for heart attacks than women without migraine. Their findings have been published in the ‘British Medical Journal’. According to the Professional Association of German Neurologists (BDN), migraine headaches affect approximately one in five women.
