Migraine is a chronic condition that can be accompanied by periods of exacerbation or remission in the majority of patients. As we age, the frequency of migraine attacks decreases. In some cases, complications may not occur. These include cerebrovascular accidents, eye problems, and other cranial nerve disorders. The patient should be fully informed by the physician about the nature and symptoms of migraine.

Even if intra-cranial pressure is not rising, this may still occur. A rise in intracranial pressure almost always causes headaches. This can be diffused and exacerbated by manoeuvers that increase intracranial pressure, such as straining at stool, stooping forward, or coughing.
Conclusion
Higher intra-cranial pressure can cause headaches that are difficult to manage when the patient lies flat and wakes up in the morning. The patient can relieve the headache by standing straight up. Headache is a sign of benign intracranial hypertension. Headache is a common and widespread symptom of benign intracranial hypertension. It can be caused by stress, anxiety, stress, hard work, excitation, or even ecstasy.
