Migraine pain is serious business. Migraine pain can lead to the interruption of even the simplest daily tasks and responsibilities that and individual is used to. By definition migraine pain is a severe and pulsating headache that often occurs with autonomic symptoms (such as blurred vision, dizziness, nausea, lightheadedness, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and/or sound), most often occurs unilaterally and can last anywhere from four to seventy two hours. Any individual that has experienced migraine pain, whether once in their lives or on multiple occasions, knows that the most important thing that can happen when migraine pain occurs is to find relief. But, in order to find relief of migraine pain first the history of knowing what migraine pain is and what causes migraine pain must be found. Migraine pain can occur in any individual, however there are certain factors that play a large role in increasing the risk of whether or not migraine pain will occur in certain people. These factors include:
- Age. During childhood, migraine pain is far less frequent but not nonexistent. Research has shown that most individuals will experience their first episode of migraine pain during adolescence, by age 40; most people who will suffer from migraine pain will have had their first attack.
- Gender. It is a commonly known fact that more migraine pain suffers tend to be female. Hormonal changes play a very large role in the case of migraine pain. During childhood or adolescents, the frequencies of migraine pain between sexes are not that different but a drastic increase in migraine pain among females becomes apparent as they neared puberty. The reason behind these statistics seems to exist in in the presence of estrogen, its levels, and its effects on migraine pain. This is also another reason why women often complain more of migraine pain around the time of their monthly cycle.
- Family History. Genetic factors play a large role in those suffering from migraine pain. Studies have shown that up to 90 percent of people with migraine pain will have a family history of them and says that those individuals that come from a family history of migraine pain sufferers will most likely be at risk of suffering from chronic migraine pain in their future as well.
Medical Issues. Individuals who have medical issues such as depression, anxiety, stroke, epilepsy, as well as high blood pressure are more susceptible to experiencing migraine pain than people who have not suffered with any of the listed medical conditions
