MIGRAINE HEADACHE

 A migraine is a powerful headache that often accompanies nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light.

SYMPTOMS

Everyone's migraines are different. Many people experience them in phases. These stages could include the following:

Having a high sensitivity to light, sound, and scent

Food aversions or a lack of appetite

Mood swings

Extreme thirst

The feeling of being bloated

Diarrhea or constipation

A migraine headache usually starts off as a dull ache that progresses to horrific pain. It usually gets worse when you do something physical. The pain can travel from one side of your head to the other, be at the front of your head, or affect your entire head. Around 80% of persons have nausea as well as a headache, and about half vomit. You may also feel faint or pale and clammy. The majority of migraine headaches last 4 hours or less, although severe ones might last up to 3 days. Two to four headaches per month are not uncommon. Migraine headaches affect some people every few days, while others only get them once or twice a year.

CAUSES:

Migraine headaches are a symptom of migraine disorder. Doctors aren't sure what causes migraine headaches, although they appear to be linked to changes in the brain and DNA. A migraine is caused by overactive nerve cells sending out signals that cause your trigeminal nerve, which controls sensation in your head and face, to fire. This triggers the release of hormones like serotonin and calcitonin gene-related peptides in your body. CGRP causes the blood vessels in your brain's lining to expand. Neurotransmitters then trigger inflammation and discomfort.

TREATMENT:

There is currently no cure for migraines. Medications, on the other hand, can help prevent or stop them, as well as protect your symptoms from growing worse.You can also stay away from substances that cause migraines. Changes in one's lifestyle, such as reducing stress and developing excellent sleeping habits, can also help.
