So many people believe they know what a migraine is and think they suffer from them. It is a bad headache, right? No.
Actually migraine is a “condition”, a debilitating condition that involves excruciating headaches, often includes nausea, can include problems with vision and left arm pain. Many sufferers are sensitive to light and sound and some have difficulty speaking. This goes way beyond normal headaches.
Migraines are more common in women than in men and some believe this is hormone related.
The attacks can come on without any warning or can have an “aura” up to one hour before, and there have been cases where sufferers have lost their jobs due to migraine attacks. Pain levels vary but for many the level is almost unbearable and together with impaired vision, the sufferer is unable to work – often without prior notice. The may not be able to work for 3 days and on their return be unable to function at top level for a few more days. As the average person suffers 1 to 3 attacks a month, that means for one or two weeks every month the patient is unable to work properly, and yet this is not considered a disability by just about every country, so it is up to each individual to search for a new job and keep it!
There are 4 recognized phases of a migraine attack although not every person experiences each phase;
Prodrome
This occurs some hours or a few days before an attack. One indication is becoming clumsy, a craving for chocolate is another, yawning and feeling sleepy or tired, tight muscles can also be a sign. The problem is most of there are normal characteristics and can be explained away.
Aura
Only a small percentage of suffers have the aura phase. It is characterized by visual disorders, such as flashing lights, bright spots, waves of light – anything up to and including blindness in one eye (luckily only lasting during the attack). The flashes are generally white or black and can be like looking around in the dark where you cab see a shape, but it is not well defined, also cloudy vision may occur.
Vertigo and pins and needles which might get progressively worse are some more signs. The Aura phase usually happens around 1 hour before an attack, acting as a warning.
Pain
The pain is normally concentrated on one sided, but may move or be on both sides. The level of pain varies from person to person but normally goes from medium to strong pain and lasts 4 – 72 hours. The pain is usually accompanied by nausea but this lessens with age.
Postdrome
Many have impaired thinking for a few days and may have weakness. Feelings range from feeling “hungover” or “flu-ish” to, for a lucky few, feeling “refreshed”.
The causes are still unknown, which does not help the millions of people who suffer from this condition. What triggers migraines is unknown, but may be stress, hormones, hunger and a few other factors.
Cure, is not really a cure but is only to control the symptoms, a pill for pain and another for nausea. Lying in a dark, silent room without moving is best and sleep cures all.
As research has no answers, each individual should take notes of what their life included a few days before an attack to see if a pattern emerges, they can then try to avoid this “trigger”.

The cause of the headaches is when the blood vessels in the scalp starts to swell. There are a number of things that can cause these headaches. Migraine headaches are the worst kind of headaches a person can have. Usually one of these headaches will occur on just one side of the head, hardly ever do these happen on both sides of the head. Once the headaches begin some medication should be taken to get it stopped before it turns into a full blown, intense, throbbing heart beat pain. A person has about 10 to 30 minutes at the most to do all they can to get it to stop. This time period is called the aura stage. Some have said caffeine will stop them. Migraine headaches are known to last up to 5 days with vomiting if not treated and this could be very dangerous. Here I have listed several things to do if you feel a headache is coming on. Doing these things could avoid migraine headaches.
You need to try and find out what is causing your headaches. Try and remember what it was you have been eating the last 2 days and see if you eat it again does it come back again.
Try and not get all stressed out. This can cause one to come on easily. Relax when you feel it coming on. Remember you have this aura time to get it stopped.
Take some kind of medication for headaches or pain, this should help some. even though you end up going to the health professional ask him about beta blockers or something to take before your headaches start. There is a shot he can give also that helps take the headache away.
Lay in a dark room with a cold cloth on your forehead. Stay away from all lights.
Have a complete check-up to make sure you have no tumors. Have a CT(computed tomography) scan done.
It has been known that when men have these headaches a lot of them have strokes. Seek healthy attention if it has not stopped the first day it happens.
It is not secret that adults and children suffer from various types of headaches throughout their life. However, before going in for medication, it is essential that we understand the causes and study the symptoms in order to be able to diagnose the problem.
Consulting a health professional if the headaches continue for long periods, would help identify the main cause, if patient are unable to do so patientrself. Constant headaches could be as result of an allergy , could be a migraine or could be as a result of more serious problem, although this is very rare.
Eating habits too play a major role in headaches. Increased intake of caffeine and tobacco, or sometimes the lack of it, if patient are a constant user, is another cause of constant headaches .Experience and realise what acts for patient to be able to get freed of the problem.
Straining patientr eyes too much either by watching too much TV or being on the computer for too long can also bring about constant headaches. Similarly too much activity in the sun could also cause a headache. If patient use lenses or wear glasses and haven t had patientr eyes checked in a long time, do go for a check-up, as this too can be a cause of constant headaches.
Sometimes, oversleeping too causes headaches but much importantly lack of sleeping too brings about severe forms of constant headahces. As with most headaches, stress, anxiety or depression could trigger severe constant headaches, therefore it is vital to keep patientr body fit and not too over worked. Massaging the head at first signs of a constant headache will relieve pain. It is essential that patient take patientr meals on time and do not cut patientr meals. It is important that patient drink lots of water to keep patientr body hydrated. We may not realize this, but lack of hydration could also lead to constant headaches.
If worst comes to worst and if patientr headache develops in to an uncontrollable monster, request patientr health professional to direct patient to a headache clinic where spealists will treat patient.
