migraine pain

migraine pain
When I wear my sunglasses, I have a horrible headache, pain in the back of the head. What should I do?

I think it's because of the heavy "arms" of sunglasses, because the pain radiates from the rest area where the back / side of my head. What do you think? Should I ditch the sunglasses or make it fit or what? (I do not want to ditch them are really nice!)

I guess it depends on what you like more … sunglasses, or being free of migraine? ;)

aura migraines

aura migraines

Migraine is a type of headache and a recognized medical condition. Migraine is widespread in the population. In the U.S., 18% of women and 6% of men report having had at least one migraine episode in the previous year. Migraines affect about 30 million people in the United States. They can occur at any age but usually begin between the ages of 10 and 40 and declines after age 50. Some people experience several migraines a month, while others only have a few migraines throughout their lifetime. Approximately 75% of migraine sufferers are women. Migraine secondary characteristics' are inconsistent. Triggers precipitating a particular episode of migraine vary widely. The effectiveness of the simplest treatment, applying heat or cold in the affected area of the head, varies between persons, sometimes worsening the migraine. Migraines are classified as "with aura" or "without aura". Migraine is a neurological disorder that generally involves recurring headaches. Other symptoms can occur with headaches. Migraines are often classified according whether they include an early symptom called an aura. Visual aura is the most common neurological events.

Migraine is a true neurological disease organic. Migraine with aura is characterized by a neurological phenomenon (aura) that is experienced from 10 to 30 minutes before the headache. Most auras are visual and are described as bright shimmering lights around objects or at the edges of the field of vision (called scintillating scotomas) or zigzag lines, images wavy, or hallucinations. Migraine without aura is the most common and can occur in one or both sides (bilateral) of the head. Tiredness or mood changes may experience a day before the headache. Nausea, vomiting and sensitivity to light (photophobia) often accompany migraine without aura. Migraines affect about 11 per 100. They are a common type of chronic, recurrent headache. They occur most frequently in women and usually begin between the ages of 10 and 46. In some cases, seem to run in families. A migraine is caused by abnormal brain activity that is activated by stress, diet, or some other factor.

Migraine specific therapies are designed specifically for the treatment of migraine attacks. Ergotamine preparations are no longer readily available. Several drugs may need to be tried before finding one that works. A class of drugs known as triptans can relieve a migraine once it starts. Relax in a room quiet and dark. Drink fluids to prevent dehydration, especially if vomiting occurs. Some medicines can help relieve symptoms. However, the efficacy of migraine medications is highly variable in different people. Some medicines can prevent migraines. These include propranolol, amitriptyline, ergonovine, cyproheptadine, clonidine, methysergide antagonists, calcium channel blockers, valproic acid, carbamazepine, topiramate (Topamax), and many others. Ergotamine tartrate preparations constrict the arteries of the head and can be used alone or in combination with other drugs such as caffeine (Cafergot), phenobarbital, or Fioricet. Propoxyphene or other medications that relieve pain and inflammation may provide relief for some people. Nausea should be treated early with Reglan, Compazine, or other antiemetics.

7. Amidrine sometimes prescribed for migraines.

8. Intravenous chlorpromazine has proven very effective in treating migraine-intractable status migraine without respite.

9. Diet, visualization, and self-hypnosis are also alternative treatments and prevention approaches.

10. Massage therapy and physical therapy are often very effective forms of treatment to reduce the frequency and intensity of migraines.

11. Massage therapy of the jaw area can also reduce pain.
