Migraine headaches are spasmodic disorders that go along with a severe headache. The migraine headache generally takes place on one side of the head and often feels as if it starts from behind the eyeball. Migraine pain is typically described as a pounding, pulsing, and penetrating pain. Other symptoms that can accompany a migraine attack are sensitivity to lights and sound, nausea, dizziness, as well as vision disturbances in some instances.
Those who suffer with migraines are stereotypically smart, strict, and methodical. However, sudden migraine attacks might occur due to overworked muscles in the head and neck which in most cases is in response to incessant stress. When this happens the blood flow descends because these tight muscles squeeze the arteries; then when the person rapidly relaxes the tight muscles expand and stretch the blood vessel walls. Therefore then the blood that is being pumped with every heartbeat at that time pushes the vessels even further causing colossal pain; thus resulting in what we call a migraine attack.
How to evade migraine attacks
What may be the source of a migraine attack for one individual may not be the same thing or combination of things that generate a migraine in another. A migraine attack can be the result of mental stress, physical tension, food allergies, and might also be a symptom of sickness. One origin of migraines is the changes in weather or changes in barometric pressure; this is a quite common instigator of migraine attacks and regrettably, one that can rarely be escaped. Below are some of the most common triggers that cause migraine attacks.
Common triggers for migraine attacks:
• Skipped meals or an irregular eating schedule
• Perfumes or colognes, scented candles, chemical or gas fumes, other odors
• Physical exertion of any kind
• Heat like hot rooms, hot days, and even becoming overheated
• Blinking or flickering lights
• Stress and tension
Knowing what triggers migraine attacks is an essential part of managing migraine attacks. Some of these triggers can be preventable, allowing us to evade some attacks. There are, of course, triggers that can’t be evaded; however knowing about those triggers is still helpful in our efforts to have fewer migraine attacks.
