About Migraines
What is a migraine?
A migraine is a type of headache that is characterized by recurrent attacks of moderate to severe pain. The pain is often throbbing or pulsing, and it is usually accompanied by other symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound.
Migraines usually affect one side of the head, but they can sometimes affect both sides. Migraines are the third most common type of headache, after tension headaches and cluster headaches.
They typically affect people between the ages of 15 and 55, and they are more common in women than in men. There is no cure for migraines, but there are many migraine treatments that can help to relieve the pain and other symptoms.
Migraine symptoms
Migraine symptoms can vary from person to person. Some people have migraines with aura, while others have migraines without aura. Aura is a term used to describe certain neurological symptoms that occur before or during a migraine. These symptoms can include visual disturbances such as flashing lights or blind spots, and they can also affect your sense of smell, touch, or hearing.
Other migraine symptoms include:
- Pain that is throbbing or pulsing
- Increased sensitivity to light and sound
- Nausea and vomiting
- Loss of appetite
- Fatigue
- Difficulty concentrating
If you experience any of these migraine symptoms, it is important to see a doctor so that they can diagnose and treat your condition.
Migraine triggers
There are many different factors that can trigger a migraine, and these triggers can vary from person to person. Some common migraine triggers include:
- Stress
- Lack of sleep
- Bright lights
- Loud noises
- Strong smells
- Changes in weather
- Certain foods and drinks
If you are susceptible to migraines, it is important to try to avoid your triggers. However, this can sometimes be difficult, as some triggers (such as changes in weather) are out of your control.
Migraine treatment
Although there is no cure for migraines, there are several treatments that can help to reduce the frequency and severity of attacks.
There are two main types of medication used to treat migraines: abortive and preventive.
Abortive medications are designed to stop a migraine once it has started. These include over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen, as well as prescription medications such as triptans.
Preventive medications are taken on a regular basis to help reduce the frequency and intensity of migraines. These include anticonvulsants, beta-blockers, and Botox injections.
In some cases, lifestyle changes such as stress reduction and avoiding trigger foods can also help to prevent migraines.
