Most migraines last about 4 hours, but severe ones can last up to a week. How often they happen differs for everyone, but itâs common to get two to four headaches per month. Some people may get migraines every few days, while others get them once or twice a year.
Depends on the type and cause of the migraines. Migraines can last for several hours to several days. Migraine sufferers should have a thorough evaluation to determine the type and cause and then proper treatment can be given to help. This type of headache tends to attack females more than males, and can be devastating to a person.
