Migraines; what do you want to know about them? With migraines being one of those things that most people have heard of and more than twenty million individuals suffer with on a chronic basis. The crazy thing is that millions of men and women suffer with chronic migraines yet very little is actually known about them. Why is that? It seems as though medical professionals and research teams are having a hard time pinpointing the exact causes of these painful little distractions – that aren’t so little.
Though no exact migraine cause can be named, research has developed that gives out insight and possible causes or at least a step in the right direction. One study has shown how a lack of magnesium in the body could play a role in the onset of a migraine and by adding more magnesium to one’s diet, the symptoms and migraine frequency will decrease. Other test and studies have shown that migraine triggers may be the cause of migraine headaches. Migraine triggers are factors that play a role in setting the stage for a migraine to develop. Migraine triggers can be either environmental or physiological and are typically unavoidable. It is important that migraine sufferers know which of the following triggers affects them personally so that once they encounter a trigger treatment can be sought.
- Stress
- Weather – change in barometric temperature
- Hormones
- Flashing Lights
- Foods
- Alcohol
Symptoms
Once a migraine trigger has been encountered, the body under goes odd changes and things begin to happen that cause serious complications. The blood vessels in the brain begin to swell causing severe throbbing and pounding in the head. As the blood vessels in the brain swell, a chemical is released into the brain; the newly released chemical begins to attack the brains arteries inflicting the release of painful and debilitating symptoms. The symptoms associated with migraines are:
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Constipation
- Cognitive Confusion
- Blurred Vision
- Dizziness
- Throbbing / Pounding Head Pain
Migraine treatment is the only way one can adequately deal with migraine headaches. There are several different migraine treatment options that one can choose from such as:
