Migraines affect people differently and can cause more pain in some with more symptoms in others; symptoms other than pain. There are four stages to the migraine process: the Prodrome, the Aura, the Headache and the Postdrome. Let me tell you about the Postdrome. This is the final stage of the migraine process and most people think they are in the clear after the worse of the headache portion is over with. They would be wrong. The Postdrome contains as many symptoms as almost all the other stages yet the surprise of the symptoms is what gets most migraine sufferers here. You can feel and have: nausea, vomiting, depression, anxiety, fatigue, mental blurriness, dizziness and even the feeling of having a hangover.
Help Not Yet Felt
Over the counter medicine is one of those items you keep on hand for when pesky little headaches threaten to ruin a perfectly beautiful day. Over the counter medicines are great in treating minor ailments such as tooth pain, muscle soreness or common cold symptoms. Acetaminophen is one of those OTC meds. Acetaminophen can reduce mild pain such as: headaches, backaches, muscle aches toothaches and even mild cold symptoms. Acetaminophen is effective due to its ability to relieve pain by changing the way the body feels pain by lowering the body temperature. Acetaminophen is a mild drug with little if any adverse side effects; however, if Acetaminophen is used in dosages higher than the recommended amount complications could arise and threaten the health of the liver and kidneys. However, drugs like this one can really not affect change on a migraine; the only two things that will help is avoiding triggers and a migraine treatment option.
Get A Massage And Get Relief
Massage Therapy can be a very useful migraine treatment, especially if the headaches and migraines are triggered by stress or tension. A massage therapist is trained to work the muscles around the head, neck, shoulders, and back in order to increase blood flow in those areas and to help relieve muscle tension. Studies have also shown that the use of massage therapy along with chiropractic manipulation can be even more advantageous. This is because when given first, massage therapy can help to loosen the muscles in the head, shoulders, and neck and produce better results with spinal manipulation.
