My grandmother suffered from terrible migraines and died of a brain tumour in her 30s. My dad has awful migraines (though he's had a lot of luck with a physiotherapist), and I get sinus migraines.
For some reason my brother and sister lucked out and hardly ever get headaches, even.
I had a migraine over the weekend because I didn't catch a sinus problem in time, only just starting to feel awake and no longer nauseous. sigh.
