How it's used
Refers specifically to a severe, throbbing headache often accompanied by sensitivity to light or sound. Unlike the general term 頭痛 which covers any headache, this implies a recurring or chronic condition that disrupts daily activities. It is frequently used with the verb 發作 to describe the onset of a painful episode.
Examples
My migraine is acting up today, I really want to rest.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with being crazy or mentally unstable, as the character 瘋 might suggest to learners of Mandarin. It strictly denotes the medical condition of a migraine.
