Through the research that was had it seems as though migraines could be triggered by physical and environmental upsets. Possible migraine triggers would include the following:
• Sleep – lack of sleep, too much sleep or interrupted sleep
• Weather – change or drop in barometric temperature
• Foods – aged cheese and chocolate have been known to cause a migraine attack
• Flashing Lights
• Hormones – a fluctuation is estrogen could set a migraine into motion hence why more women suffer from chronic migraines than men
• Smells – certain smells such as perfume, body odor or cigarette smoke
Trying to avoid migraine triggers is not always possible so the best approach would be to uncover a migraine treatment.
When You Encounter A Trigger
Migraine headaches are not really headaches but are in fact a neurological condition that develops in the brain. When a migraine is in the early stages, the blood vessels in the brain begin to enlarge and or expand causing intense pain in the head that resembles a pounding or throbbing. The pain of a migraine is felt unilaterally which means it is felt on one side of the head right above the eye. As the blood vessels in the brain expand, they begin to release a harmful chemical into the brain; the released chemical then attacks with fierceness the brain’s arteries creating a whole slew of migraine symptoms to unleash and inflict misery on the migraine patient. The symptoms build and build until the blood vessels return to their original size and the arteries are no longer affected by the attacking chemical.
America Suffers From Migraines
Why are so many Americans still struggling with the effects that a migraine can have on their life yet alone their lifestyle? One of the main reasons that so many migraine sufferers still struggle with chronic and debilitating migraine pain could have something to do with the myths surrounding migraines. The most common myth surrounding migraine headaches would most likely have to be that a migraine just appears and attacks without any warning, this is untrue. Unlike a headache, a migraine takes days to develop and it does so in the brain creating a neurological upset. Migraines can be triggered and if knowledge exists of what triggers the onset of migraine possible migraine prevention could occur. Migraine triggers differ from person to person as well as from male to female.
