When it comes to migraine headaches, there is so much that needs to be known, discussed and sorted through. Migraine headaches, their origin and treatment are still such a mystery that at times it becomes very confusing to an individual who is either suffering with chronic migraines or is undecided about whether or not the pain being felt is indeed a migraine or not. So rather than waste time talking about… what if, maybe, possibly, lets discuss and decipher the information we have on hand about migraine headaches.
The information will be summarized as best it can be in the short amount of time we have, however those reading may become bored and feel that too much detail was given in areas that could have been summed up much simpler. More information is always better then less. The more you know about something the less of an issue it becomes and that is the case with chronic migraines. So let’s get started by discussing how a migraine develops. A migraine if a reoccurring issue is thought to be by neurologist a neurological condition. Why? The way a migraine develops is unlike that of a headache.
Chemical Reactions
The causes of migraine headaches are not known, however information has surfaced regarding migraine triggers that play a role in the onset of migraine headaches. Migraine triggers can be environmental and or physiological upsets. Once a trigger has been encountered, the blood vessels in the brain begin to create a chemical reaction by way of enlarged blood vessels. The blood vessels in the brain begin to expand and as they do, they create painful pounding throbbing sensations in the head causing the victim to want to run and hide from every light and sound.
The blood vessels in the brain release a harmful chemical into the brain that begins to attack the brains arteries. The attacking of the arteries is what sets off a series of more complicated and intense symptoms. The symptoms and headache can last up to seventy two hours. With no known migraine cure the only help a migraine patient can have is by way of migraine treatment. Migraine treatment can range from several different prescription medications and or the use of natural holistic approaches such as acupuncture, massage therapy and or chiropractic care.
