Symptoms vary from person to person but can include 7unbearable head pain, 8nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light, noise and/or smells. An attack can last from four hours to several days and can be triggered this time of year, says 9neurologist Dr. Rashmi Halker Singh with Mayo Clinic. 

"I think with changes in sunlight and the length of days, it can sometimes take people out of their normal 10routine and schedule. And people who live with migraine actually do much better with a typical routine." 

To manage and 11potentially 12prevent an attack, Halker Singh says to remember the word SEEDS. The S 13stands for sleep. 14Sticking to a regular sleep schedule can help. E is for eating. Don't skip meals and make sure you 15stay hydrated while limiting caffeine. The next E is for exercise. Stay physically active. D is for diary. Keep track of what triggers an attack. And finally, the second S stands for stress management. Stress can be a trigger.
