Feb 3, 2026 | 6:00 AM

PRINCE GEORGE – Headaches are common, but migraines can be much more debilitating, often stopping people in their tracks. Health experts emphasize that understanding the difference between the two and acting early can significantly improve daily life.

While headaches are a general type of pain, migraines are a medically diagnosed condition that often includes symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound.

One key to managing migraines is recognizing early warning signs and triggers.

For some individuals, over-the-counter medications like Tylenol or Advil can provide relief, while others may require prescription medications.
