Recently, there has been a commercial on cable that is promoting a certain car insurance company and the spokesperson communicates that change is difficult. He gives a few examples as your car, your job or your girlfriend; he then says that change with them is easy and you won’t have any vengeful, significant girlfriends. Funny, yes but it is true; change is hard, especially, when you have to change some of the things you enjoy because of a condition. Migraine headaches require certain lifestyle changes in order to minimize the intensity and frequency of the migraine attacks. Changes, like no chocolate, no caffeine, no loud noises if you triggered by such or other things, have to be made if the necessary treatment is to be realized. Successful migraine therapy comes from flexible victims with consistent treatment options being utilized.
Weather Can Trigger A Migraine
I suffer from weather triggered migraine headaches and right now, we want to briefly go over the role weather can play on migraines occurrences. Changes in the weather such as the ones mentioned below are thought to create a chemical reaction in the brain that sets the serotonin levels off balance bringing about a painful migraine headache. Chronic migraine sufferers often note an increase in migraine activity during weather and climate changes. Research on the weather and its direct influence on migraines is still under research, therefore it is suggested that migraine sufferers keep a headache journal noting which weather changes bring on migraine headaches and symptoms. Weather related migraines are often noticed when the following changes occur:
• Barometric Changes
• Mostly Bright Sunshiny Days
• Rainy Weather
• Hot and Cold weather changes
• Dry Air
• High Humid Air
Getting Your Massage On
Getting a massage is a great way to help minimize the stress of a migraine attack in a preventative way of course; because once the migraine has begun its symptoms, there is really very little that can be done to minimize the onslaught. A professional therapist will not give you a deep-tissue massage as this would only irritate your situation further. They will focus on the sub-occipital muscle group which runs from the top of the spine to the bottom. Since neck stress and back tension are big triggers of migraine headaches, therapeutic massages are great in preventative means.
