A migraine is a splitting headache that just seems to set in apparently
due to no reason at all. The reasons for a migraine are mainly vascular.
That means that certain changes in the blood vessels that supply
blood to the brain trigger of the pain. Of course, the causes for
the changes in the blood vessels may vary from person to person but
this is generally how it starts.
Migraines are easily the most common headache syndrome. It affects
10 to 15 percent of the global population. One peculiar feature
of a migraine is that it usually
starts in childhood or adolescence and is most common in young and middle-aged
adults.
The only good thing about a migraine is that it usually stops as people get
older. Migraines have nothing to do with a person’s background, upbringing,
or social class. Migraines do not discriminate.
Migraines have a strong impact on the quality of a person’s life. It
affects not only the person but also the lives of those who move in close contact
with
he person. Migraine attacks can some times be so severe that person may have
to abandon his or her routine activities for three or four days at a stretch.
Once the pain of a migraine sets in, it is sheer agony. It is almost as if
one side of your head is being ripped off. There is very little a person can
do to
stop this pain.
The good thing about a migraine is that it is transient, that is the pain will
go away after sometime. This usually happens after the person gets a few hours
of sound sleep. But the worst thing about migraines is that they recur. But
migraines too can be prevented to a very large extent as the tips below explain.
There are two main types of migraine, the classic migraine and the common migraine.
Both the classic and the common kind can occur as often as several times a
week or as rarely as once every few years.
Both types can occur at any time. But for some people at least, it is possible
to predict the occurrence of the migraine. For example there is a greater tendency
for a migraine near the days of menstruation or every Saturday morning after
a stressful week of work.
Although many sufferers have a family history of migraine, the exact hereditary
nature of this condition is not known. People who get migraines are thought
to have an inherited abnormality in the regulation of blood vessels. The following
factors often act as triggers that set of the migraine.
Stress is one of the major factors that can contribute to the onset of a migraine.
Now it may not be possible for you to get away from the cause of stress, particularly
if it is something connected with your job.
Anger can trigger of a migraine as well. It would be good for short-tempered
people to learn ways of controlling their anger. The best method is of course
the one to ten method. The next time you get angry count to ten very slowly
before you really blow your lid. By the time you get to ten you should have
cooled down.
Both physical and mental fatigue can lead to a migraine so do not push your
self too much. Enough is enough and when your body starts giving you signals
that
it has had enough, take heed and stop whatever you are doing. Just bear in
mind that a little more productivity on one day is not worth the productivity
of the
next couple of days.
