Migraine Symptoms and treament

69

By mariasial


I used to have Migraines since I was a teenager. My doctor used to tell me that it will be over once you got married due to hormonal changes and I quiet believe on him as well. But! Let me tell you that nothing like this happened. I used to have migraine even when I am a wife and a mother as well.

Migraine Symptoms

I have noticed that every second or third person around me is complaining about migraine but surprisingly none of them take any migraine medication or simple pain killer. If you are lucky not to have it as yet then I tell you it a lot lot pain. It makes you vomit, nausea, sensitivity with sound and noise etc. Other symptoms of migraine include severe pain on either one side of head or both side of head. In some types of Migraine pain occurs on the forehead or eye area only. The intensity of pain is far more than ordinary headaches.


Migraine Triggers

I used to take a pain killer as a medication to get rid of migraine but doctor always ask me to find out what triggers your migraine?. In my case; it’s nothing but ‘stress’. However, stress is not the only cause of migraine, there are other reasons as well. For instance one of my friend told me that sharp light coming directly into her eyes triggers her migraine. Another said that air conditioner cooling coming directly into her head tiggers her migraine. Somebody got affected because of sharp noise or continuously loud noise and so on. My brother used to have migraine after having black coffee. I am sure all you having his/her own reason of this problem. But there are lots of other people who actually don’t know the reason at all.

Migraine Relief

Having migraine since last so many years I found out its actually stress of all sort which eventually causes migraine, anything which you are bearing hardly and not liked by you. So whenever you are tolerating anything out of choice it triggers your migraine whether sharp light, too much cooling, loud noise and too much work etc. So in order to relief from migraine just don’t bear anything which you don’t like. Just get out of it. You can also get relief from migraine in quiet and dark place. Maybe your bedroom J

Migraine Treatment

No specific treatment of migraine is available however, I used to take pill (prescribed by doctor), which is a pain killer but have sleeping effect as well and go to sleep. So when I get up I am fresh and happy. However if you do not want to take pill try to vomit and go to sleep, I assure you it will give you an instant relief provided you do have vomiting symptoms.

As I said everybody have his/her own causes, so I believe everybody should have his/her own migraine treatment as well. So feel free to use this platform to share your migraine causes and treatment it might help somebody else …

Take Care…

I suffer from migraines also. I get the aura also which are zig zag lines that float in front of me. I have learned to notice the sign that a migraine is on the way. I will get a twitching below my eyes like a nerve jumping or my thumb will start twitching. There are sometimes where I only get the floating lines and no head pain. Im told these are called eye migraines. I noticed that a lot of people use the word migraine a lot. Some I think just have a regular headache but use the word migraine. These people have no idea what a true migraine is. And I hope they never do. The pain is unbearable. You mentioned a few things that can trigger a migraine. Food can also trigger them. I found I have to stay away from anything peppermint. I found that when I would eat peppermint candy or anything that had peppermint in it I would get more migraines. It took a while till I figured that out. But I no longer eat peppermint now. I still get migraines now but eating peppermint makes me have them more often.

Migraine headaches can be nearly unbearable, especially if they are not headed off before nausea turns to vomiting. Great hub topic.
