Not A Quick Fix!

When looking to fix a condition that is causing problems and disturbances in your life, the last thing you want are more complications and issues when the starting plan was to help. So when it comes to selecting a treatment option for a condition such as chronic migraines, it is mandatory that time to research the different approaches and options to migraine treatment as well as the different methods of migraine treatment are analyzed carefully before you can agree on and then implement it.

Staying under the care of a medical professional during the treatment process would be beneficial, in order to help you the patient stay as healthy and side effect free as possible. Often migraine victims are forced to try several different migraine treatments before he or she is able to find one that is effective enough to work and help relieve some of the migraine pain and symptoms. Giving up due to frustration is a sure fire way to insure that no migraine relief will be found and implemented. Working alongside a medical professional could speed up the process of finding an effective migraine treatment but keep in mind that the medical professional may push the use of prescription medications. I always recommend consult with your doctor to determine the best migraine treatment for you; avoiding the problem solves nothing.

Knocked Out Cold
More than twenty million men and women suffer with painful and reoccurring migraine headaches. One wild statistic says that migraine headaches are one of the leading causes for missed work, so there is definitely a migraine epidemic running crazy and very little is being done about this painful chronic condition.

So little is known about migraines and very few of the individuals that suffer with chronic migraines actually seek out a migraine treatment; therefore, it is no wonder that so many people are walking around miserable. Migraine triggers could be hiding anywhere and around every corner, therefore it is important than one learns what triggers their migraine headaches. Once the migraine triggers have been determined, it is important that an understanding of the development of a migraine be made clear.

Nuts And Bolts
By understanding how a migraine develops, one can better learn how to treat migraines and or prepare for the onset of one. A migraine develops when the blood vessels in the brain enlarging and causing a pounding / throbbing pain in the head. As the blood vessels enlarge, they release a harmful chemical into the brain; the released chemical begins to attack the brains arteries and then releases a series of painful and debilitating migraine symptoms onto the victim.

Migraine symptoms are what make up the worse part of the migraine. Head pain is painful and can cause a few delays; however, it is the symptoms that cause the biggest delay and limitation on an individual. Migraine symptoms can cause not only debilitation but spells of confusion and lack of clarity of the mind. The list below is just a few of the debilitating symptoms you may face throughout his or her migraine journey.

• Blurred Vision
• Nausea
• Sensitivity to light and sound
• Vomiting
• Constipation
• Hallucinations and lack of mental focus

Pop A Pill: Best Approach?
Several different types of medication may be used to treat migraine headaches such as: antidepressants, antiseizure medication, blood pressure pills, triptans and ergots. The most effective migraine medication would be the newest of the bunch, which would be triptans or ergots. Triptans and ergots work at reducing migraine frequencies by constricting or narrowing the blood vessels to prevent them from enlarging and inflicting pain. Triptans and ergots have proven to be effective and holding to what they promise to do; however not only they constrict and narrow blood vessels to help relive migraine pain, they can also cause serious health concerns.

Serious side effects or health concerns that are the result of using of prescription medications especially triptans and ergots would include the following: stroke, heart attack, kidney failure, depression, anxiety and or suicidal tendencies. If you feel that medications such as these are more damaging than they are helpful, ask your medical professional about other safer alternatives. Triptans and ergots can help relive migraine headaches but the question has to be asked if whether or not the migraine medication is more harmful than it is helpful.
