eli5 What is the difference between a migraine and headache?

199 views

My head just started aching on the back left side, and a little bit above my left eyebrow (basically the whole top left side of my head.)

I’m just wondering if you guys think this is a migraine or a headache, and what the difference is!

If you were experiencing a migraine, you would probably be too sensitive to light to post anything from a screen. It isn’t always the case, but light sensitivity is a very common symptom. You might also see “auras” around objects. The pain is generally much worse than a regular headache too.
