What is a Migraine?

migraine headache

Migraine headache is a specific type of headache in which the pain is pulsating in nature and severe, on one side of the head. This pain is such an insidious kind that it cannot be tolerated and must affect even daily routines. Not like common headaches, migraine headaches may last from a few hours to several days and can be accompanied with other crippling symptoms of migraine. They fall under the category of primary headaches, as they are not caused by some other medical conditions.

Causes of Migraine Headache

One of the headache causes of migraine is complex and occurs differently in different people. While the exact cause of migraine is unknown, several factors have been believed to contribute to the causes of migraine headaches, including

Genetics

Family history is one big contributing factor; if a close relative suffers from migraines then your chances are increased

Hormonal changes

Many women claim that their migraines begin at specific times that coincide with natural hormonal shifts such as menstruation, pregnancy or menopause. Estrogen is the first suspected hormone in this connection

Environmental factors

A weather change can set off migraines. Migraine sufferers are also known to be attacked by bright lights and pungent smells

Stages of Migraine

Most people recall that their migraines have a cycle of four stages, though not everyone will note all of the phases.

Prodrome

Symptoms could occur a day or two before migraines proceed to the headache stage. A person might feel irritable, experience cravings for food, or have stiffness of the neck. Such prodromal symptoms enable one to prepare for the migraine that is coming up

Aura

A pre-phase may be marked by visual or sensory changes sometimes as inoffensive as flashing lights or as profound as tingling of the face or extremities. Not all people experience aura, but when they do, it can be a warning for most

Headache

This is the most critical phase, with severe pain lasting for 4 to 72 hours. It may be accompanied by nausea or vomiting and increased sensitivity to both light and sound

Postdrome

People suffering from a migraine often report feeling exhausted, mentally drained, or not focused after the headache subsides. These symptoms are called a “migraine hangover.”
Knowing the phases of migraines will prepare the patient for an impending attack and make it easier to manage one

Best Migraine Treatment

Best Migraine Treatment

There are many factors taken into consideration in managing migraines. Here are some of the most effective headache treatment of migraine options available

Medications

OTC pain relievers, ibuprofen or acetaminophen, can also ease milder levels of migraine pain. More intense cases require prescription medication specifically created for the purpose of treating migraine headaches, by constricting blood vessels and blocking pathways in the brain to convey pain signals

Preventive treatments

In case of high frequency of migraines, preventive drugs such as beta-blockers, anticonvulsants, or antidepressants are usually recommended. These medications help reduce the frequency and severity of headache episodes

Change in lifestyle

Following a regular sleep schedule, avoidance of dehydration, reduction of stress by practicing meditation or yoga, and avoiding such identified and enhanced trigger factors would reduce both the frequency and intensity of migraine attacks

Alternative therapies

Some report that treatment with acupuncture, chiropractic care, or biofeedback improves their situation, but this usually generally alleviates symptoms and enhances well-being

Dietary changes

Keeping a food diary can help in avoiding and identifying triggers. Meals that fit patterns of regularity and balance reduce the likelihood of drops in blood sugar that can trigger a migraine

When to Consult a Doctor 

If you have frequent migraine attacks or if your migraine attacks become severe and most inconvenient, it is time to see your doctor. Consult your doctor if:  
  • Your pain makes it impossible to carry out normal life activities or perform its due function in work and daily activities. 
  • You start experiencing changes in the patterns or intensity of your headaches.
  • You never had a migraine and begin having severe headaches especially, if you experience neurological symptoms with it 
  • You experience more than the normal symptoms that include confusion, vision disturbances, or inability to talk.
