​Statics have found that 25% of women and 8% of men get migraines sometime in their lifetime. About half of these people get their first migraine before the age of 20, and 98% before the age of 50. 5% get migraine before they're 15 years old, and about a third of those get migraine before they're even 5! Most migraines, however, occur between the ages of 25 and 50. Contrary to popular belief, only 60% of migraines are one-sided. 15% of people with migraine always get migraine on the same side. Children are more likely to have pain on both sides. 85% are described as pulsing or throbbing. 62% last longer than 24 hours (if not treated), but they may last less than an hour in children. 80% of migraines deal with nausea, but only 30% actually throw up. 80% are sensitive to light and noise, most often light. 45% have autonomic symptoms, which include congestion or redness of the eye. 10% get a warning to their migraine known as the prodromal stage.
