What is a key consideration when diagnosing migraines?

  1. At least 10 attacks

  2. Headaches last 1-2 hours

  3. At least 5 attacks

  4. All headaches must have nausea

The correct answer is: At least 5 attacks

When diagnosing migraines, it is important to consider the frequency of attacks, rather than the duration of individual headaches or the presence of nausea. Option A may seem like a logical requirement for a chronic condition, but it is not a defining factor for migraines. Similarly, while option D may be a common symptom of migraines, it is not a requirement for diagnosis. Option B is also incorrect, as duration alone does not determine a migraine diagnosis. Ultimately, the key consideration for diagnosing migraines is having at least 5 attacks.
