Migraine headache is a very common condition that almost 30 million Americans are affected. In fact, there are still a lot of people undiagnosed. Let’s take a look on this phenomenon and see things much more clearly.
Migraine headaches are conditions concerning various symptoms and episodes, but mainly have pain as its major symptoms. Though migraine has been there for ages, even Julius Caesar had one, the cause of migraine is still unknown. Experts believe that constrictions of arteries in the head cause irritation to nerve endings, and thus production of pain occurs. Other experts believe that it is mainly due to genes and how it affects brain activities.
Even if the exact mechanism and cause of migraine is still unknown, a lot of probable cause or triggers may be pointed out. Triggers may be stress, anxiety, loud noise, air pollution, food containing tyramine and MSG, lack of sleep, hormonal imbalance and many more. Migraine is much more common in women due to the consideration of hormonal imbalance as part of the triggers.
Though migraine is not risky condition, it can cause cessation of activities once an attack is established. Migraine symptoms vary from each individual and some may cause debilitating pain, which leads to lack of performance and absences. So how do we handle them?
Since triggers are most likely causes of some migraine, mind you there are also types of migraine who occurs sporadically and without known cause. But if you are an individual who most likely have triggers, then you can decrease the amount of episodes by identifying them. You can keep a notebook to track down possible triggers.
Medications are the most common way of handling migraine symptoms. There are a wide variety of medications and all depends on what symptoms an individual is experiencing. For pain common analgesics may take effect, for nausea and vomiting, then anti-emetics would be appropriate. Some doctors prescribe migraine specific medications as well.
