Physicians today are just as confused about migraines today as they were back 10 years ago. There is still no change toward a cure for migraines and they still don’t exactly know how these vascular headaches start or how to stop them of course. We know that they are triggered by something in your environment or by something that occurs in your body to catalyze the migraine process. Observe your migraine occurrences to see what triggers you might have; some people have only one migraine trigger like caffeine or bright lights (exterior) while others have multiple triggers that can be closely related together like fatigue, hunger, stress and neck and back tension. One thing is certain if you can avoid the trigger, you can alleviate yourself from the migraine attack altogether.
Problem Solving
Treating migraine headaches have always been, well – a headache, pardon the pun. Migraines for some are an on-going condition that hinders the success of an individual. When a person suffers from chronic headaches like migraines, they often find themselves cornered in a dark, hopeless room several times throughout the year. The pain and symptoms that accompany a migraine onslaught can become so intense that the only solution the migraine sufferer can do is run away and hide, waiting out the migraine hurricane.
It Hits You
Long before the actual headache settles in, stage 2 hit you like a ton of bricks and is called migraine aura; it begins to show up twenty to sixty minutes before the intense migraine headache symptoms begin. Symptoms that come with the migraine aura stage typically affect vision and produce the following symptoms:
o Flashing Lights
o Blank Spots
o Zigzag lines
o Vertigo
o Black spots in eyes
o Temporary Blindness
CSD or Cortical Spreading Depression is also a key symptom and is even suspected to be a key contributor to the start of a migraine to begin with. It starts at the back of the head and travels slowly to the front causing the nerves to be depressed in their response to impulses. It is important that friends, family and employers are notified during this stage that over the next few days you may be somewhat out of sorts as you cope with your migraine headache. Finding a dark quiet place to rest is important during this stage so that the migraine attack does not intensify.
