Stress Can Affect You

When you struggle with the chronic migraine pain and symptoms along with all the issues that come with it, you have to be careful what you do and how you take care of yourself as triggers for the start of a migraine can appear out of nowhere. Stress can be a big factor when it comes to triggers as it is a trigger itself. What many migraine victims don’t understand about this trigger is that a stressful situation for one person might not be stressful for another person. So learn your own body and how it deals with stress and what stress affects you and to what degree. This information will help you avoid certain situations that could create a migraine forming atmosphere in your life. A migraine trigger could be influenced by one’s environment or any physiological upset that can lead to the onset of a headache; those who are prone to headaches are more susceptible. Clinical studies have shown that the triggers listed below are common ones that if aware of could help decrease the incapacitating consequence a migraine could have.

 Lighting – Lighting has been known to enhance mood and is often used as a mood enhancer however, flashing, bright high intensity and visually stimulating light sources can be a factor in developing painful migraine symptoms.
 Foods
o Aged cheese, Chocolate
o Caffeine – If used correctly and under the careful watch of a medical professional, certain forms of caffeine can be a helpful migraine treatment. Caffeine is a wonderful “upper” that serves as a great aid in helping one get through his or her day. Caution must be had due to the addictive nature of caffeine. For those that suffer with chronic migraines, caffeine can become a vital part of one’s daily treatment in avoiding a migraine headache. Caffeine can also be considered a migraine trigger when it is consumed in large doses. The possible side effects it can have such as: anxiety, involuntary muscle spasms, insomnia as well as possible stomach pain. Though caffeine can be thought of as a migraine trigger, caffeine is also a common ingredient in several medications used to treat migraine headaches. Caffeine additives are said to help increase the effectiveness of migraine medication by 40%.
 Smells – Cigarette Smoke, Body Odor or Perfumes
 Alcohol – Tyramine is a chemical found in wine that has been proven to activate a migraine quicker than if no alcohol was used. I have felt this before and it is not good.

Utilizing A Treatment
There is a lot of help that can come from avoiding the above triggers but real aid takes place by utilizing a migraine treatment option such as the Migraine Support Formula. The formula contains all-natural ingredients that will help minimize the symptoms and effects the migraine has on you. Here are some of the ingredients:

 Feverfew – It is thought that Migraines can develop when serotonin is released from platelets found in the blood vessels. Feverfew has the ability to relax the built up tension in the blood vessels not only relieving migraine pain but helping with inflammation. If feverfew is taken before the onset of a headache, it can increase ones chances of avoiding a debilitating migraine attack.

 White Willow Bark – White Willow Bark is a tree native parts of Asia and gets its name from the color of the tree’s leaves. This has been a treatment for centuries. Before the printed word, people were advised to take a piece of the bark and chew on it to help relieve fever and inflammation. Now, thanks to modern research, further information on the White Willow Bark has been uncovered shedding further light on how one can pick a natural answer for treating aches, pains, fevers, inflammation. The active substance salicin found in white willow bark has since been used to formulate aspirin. The herb is still used today to treat several mild conditions and is often preferred over aspirin because it is less acidic and easier on the stomach lining.

 Ginger – Ginger is often used for medicinal purposes such as treating pain from arthritis, blood thinning, and cholesterol and for me personally – nausea and upset stomach. Research has shown that ginger has the ability to attach to the brains serotonin receptors thus helping calm the affect that the enlarged blood vessels can have on the brains arteries. Ginger is also used as an aid in helping reduce bouts of diarrhea.
