-Decreased vision
-High blood pressure
-Brain tumors
-Tension
-Lack of sleep
-Heat
-Dehydration
-Fever
-Sinusitis
-Meningitis
-Aneurysm
-Glaucoma
Migraines is also a common type of headache occur with the symptoms nausea,vomiting and sensitivity to light.It may also triggered by
-Stress
-Skipping of meals
-Menstrual periods
-Fatigue
-Changes in normal sleep
-Changing weather
-Some specific foods(preservatives in food&food addictives such as nitrates)

There is no specific cure for migraine headaches. The goal is to prevent symptoms by avoiding or changing the triggers.

People suffering from migraine are recommended to take Vitamin B complex that contains 100 mg of niacin.
Fish, liver, sunflower seeds, nuts, tomatoes, green leafy vegetables, whole wheat, and yeast are good sources of vitamins that can treat migraine.

Most headaches are minor, and can treat with a pain killer..But some are serious that worsens steadily. If it develops suddenly/severe/persists for several days, and accompanies fever, loss of consciousness, vision blurring, paralysis etc then you must get medical attention immediately..
