my research on M
A migraine is a very painful type of headache. People who get migraines often describe the pain as pulsing or throbbing in one area of the head. During migraines, people are very sensitive to light and sound. They may also become nauseated and vomit.
Migraine is three times more common in women than in men. Some people can tell when they are about to have a migraine because they see flashing lights or zigzag lines or they temporarily lose their vision.
Many things can trigger a migraine. These include
- Anxiety
- Stress
- Lack of food or sleep
- Exposure to light
- Hormonal changes (in women)
Doctors used to believe migraines were linked to the opening and narrowing of blood vessels in the head. Now they believe the cause is related to genes that control the activity of some brain cells. Medicines can help prevent migraine attacks or help relieve symptoms of attacks when they happen. For many people, treatments to relieve stress can also help.
There are really only two kinds of migraine: migraine with aura and migraine without aura. The latter is much more common; only 30% of migraine sufferers have aura. But these different types of migraine are not all that different. Each kind can entail severe, throbbing headaches that render an individual sensitive to light and sound. Nausea may even occur.
For migraine with aura, an aura will precede the actual headache. People experience auras differently. So even within the different types of migraine, there are varying levels of pain and sensations. Often, they will see flashing lights, jagged lines, and have trouble focusing their eyes and may even encounter temporary blindness (though that is rare). A person suffering from migraine with aura will also encounter numbness and tingling in the face, hands, and lips on one or both sides of their body. They can also feel weakness in their arms or legs, but that usually only happens on one side of the body. Aura also can confuse an individual – he or she may not be able to comprehend words or speak properly. All of this can last for an hour.
Migraines, especially migraines with aura, can be excruciating. But if you keep your doctor informed about your symptoms, you can be properly diagnosed and receive medications and/or treatments that make your pain tolerable and possibly even nonexistent in some cases.
