migraine attacks
I remember one instance when I was talking to my friend, Meldz. She was telling me that migraine was just the same as headache but it was just the more 'sosyal' word for it. But when she experienced it too (that was after she gave birth), she told me that migraine was really different. She experienced severe pain, it was 10x the pain she experiences with headache
*-*
Here is something I got from Medline about Migraine.
A migraine is a very painful type of headache. People who get migraines often describe the pain as pulsing or throbbing in one area of the head. During migraines, people are very sensitive to light and sound. They may also become nauseated and vomit.
Migraine is three times more common in women than in men. Some people can tell when they are about to have a migraine because they see flashing lights or zigzag lines or they temporarily lose their vision.
Many things can trigger a migraine. These include
- Anxiety
- Stress
- Lack of food or sleep
- Exposure to light
- Hormonal changes (in women)
Doctors used to believe migraines were linked to the opening and narrowing of blood vessels in the head. Now they believe the cause is related to genes that control the activity of some brain cells. Medicines can help prevent migraine attacks or help relieve symptoms of attacks when they happen. For many people, treatments to relieve stress can also help.
And for treatments, I found these from Mayo Clinic.
