Answer:

Migraine

Explanation:

    Migraine is a disabling, biologically based headache that affects genetically predisposed people.  This type of primary headache can occur at any age, but it usually manifests more in adolescents, young adults, and affects women more than men.

     In about 15% of cases, pain is preceded (or accompanied by) a premonitory aura involving visual symptoms. Its main feature is blurred vision or the presence of bright, zigzag or dark spots in the periods preceding the painful crises.

 Typical symptoms are:

  • Throbbing and pulsating pain, usually unilateral, of moderate or severe intensity;
  • Nausea;
  • Vomiting;
  • Hypersensitivity to light (photophobia), sounds (phonophobia) and certain odors (osmophobia), which last for four to 72 hours and worsen with movement;
  • Irritability;
  • Depression;
  • Agitation
