Migraine headache is replaced by sudden, intermittent, one-sided (hemi), sudden headache attacks that are usually accompanied by nausea, dizziness, drooling or dry mouth, and even vomiting. It usually feels like a knocking or beating with a hammer in sync with your pulse.
How are migraine headaches manifested?
During migraine-related pain:
- half of the patient’s face turns pale (redness of the skin is less frequent),
- there are abnormalities in visual acuity,
- there may be sensory disturbances,
- sometimes temporary paresis of the eyes and face may appear,
- your hearing may be impaired.
Migraine affects four times more women than men, usually between the ages of 20 and 30. Migraine headaches usually last from a few minutes to several or even several hours.
Causes of headaches of migraine origin
Migraine can be caused by:
- states where we are very nervous,
- suffering of a physical nature (pain),
- prolonged rest in a lying position,
- weather changes.
Migraine headaches are of vascular origin. Before the pale skin and vasospasm appear, there is excruciating pain and vasodilation, accompanied by a painful pulsation of the temporal artery (pulsation). Of course, there are types of migraine that express only vasoconstriction, then no pulsation or vascular changes occur.
How to treat migraine headaches?
Treatment of migraine headaches is not a simple matter and there is no one specific method that is right for everyone, you should choose the drug individually. If the first or subsequent medication does not give any results – do not be discouraged, because sometimes it takes time before the doctor finally selects the effective one. The goal of treatment is to prevent further migraine attacks, which can be achieved fairly quickly. However, it should be remembered that sometimes treatment requires patience on the part of both the patient and the doctor.
Migraine headaches can be soothed with the CranioCradle Self-Therapy Device. Using it not only helps with migraines, but also improves your well-being.
How to deal with a sudden attack of migraine?
The following are some of the ways to deal with a sudden attack of migraine headaches.
1. Give the patient a painkiller tablet (one). The next dose can be taken after 3 hours if needed. If migraine attacks occur frequently, do not take these preparations without memory as they can harm your body.
2. Drinking a cup of black coffee (early enough) can provide relief from migraines. It is worth mentioning, however, that some people develop migraine precisely as a result of drinking coffee, which is why this method is contraindicated in them. Also, people with abdominal pain should not drink strong coffee, as it may worsen the symptoms.
3. If the swelling persists after the migraine attack – apply warm compresses to the swollen areas.
4. If the headache is accompanied by unbearable throbbing – you may relieve pressure with your fingers on the painful area.
Ailments related to migraine can also be eliminated by using the Natural compress for women made of cotton and Yokompres cherry seeds. As a support for treatment, as well as prophylactically for headaches, you can use Light head – a natural herbal mixture of Lorem Vit available at a favorable price on the Medonet Market.
How to prevent migraine headaches?
Prevention in migraine attacks is based on:
- giving up alcohol,
- regular lifestyle – proper diet, physical activity, lots of walks,
- rinsing the body with cool water every day (hot baths and showers are more harmful to people with migraine),
- Avoiding eating too much meals and drinking plenty of fluids, especially late in the evening,
- taking certain pharmacological agents according to the doctor’s recommendations,
- periodically changing the place of stay, e.g. from the mountains to the sea – sometimes it has a positive effect and soothes ailments; the reverse change is contraindicated.
