If you suffer from headaches on a month to month basis, there are several things you need to consider. The first being that the headaches you are plagued with each month may or may not be actual headaches but migraine headaches. The second thing you should consider is seeking out a neurologist to see if something more complex is going on. Migraines are often misdiagnosed by those who suffer with them. Often migraine sufferers excuse away their migraine by stating that it nothing more than just a really bad headaches.
Headaches and migraines are two very different things. Headaches may cause a little discomfort but headaches cannot cause symptoms other than head pain and they can be treated with over the counter medicine and once treated usually dissipate between two and four hours. Migraines on the other hand can’t and will not be pacified with over the counter medicine and migraine headaches lasts anywhere from twenty-four to seventy-two hours. Migraine headaches bring on several painful symptoms that often leave migraine sufferers debilitated and miserable.
Seek Out Help
Rather than struggle month after month with head pain, seek out medical advice. By choosing to see a medical professional those who habitually struggle with head pains may discover that the head pain is from a vascular migraine and the reason that treatments tried have not worked is because the patient was treating migraines with headaches strength medicines. Treating migraines is its own unique process.
Triggers are often the catalyst for the onset of a migraine and once the migraine triggers have been discovered, then it makes treatment and avoidance much simpler. Migraine triggers vary from environmental to physiological factors. For instance, if you are a female and suffer with monthly “headaches,” then what you really may be dealing with are menstrual migraines that show up right before or after your monthly cycle. Menstrual migraines develop when there is a drastic fluctuation in estrogen.
The point trying to be made is that you never know what may be causing your head pain and you will never know unless you seek out professional advice; head pain limits the quality of life one can have. So increase your quality of life and find out what is causing your reoccurring headaches.
