Migraine
A migraine is a common type of headache that may occur with symptoms
such as nausea, vomiting, or sensitivity to light. In many people, a throbbing
pain is felt only on one side of the head.
Some people who get migraines have warning symptoms, called an aura,
before the actual headache begins. An aura is a group of symptoms, including
vision disturbances, that are a warning sign that a bad headache is coming.
Other types
Ø Cluster headache
Ø Mixed tension migraine (features of both
a migraine and tension headache)
Ø Tension headache
Causes,
ü Migraine headaches tend to first appear
between the ages of 10 and 45. Sometimes they may begin later in life.
ü Migraines occur more often in women than
men,
ü Migraines may run in families.
ü Some women, but not all, may have fewer
migraines when they are pregnant.
Migraine attacks may be triggered by:
¬ Alcohol
¬ Allergic reactions
¬ Bright lights
¬ Certain odors or perfumes
¬ Changes in hormone levels (which can
occur during a woman's menstrual cycle or with the use of birth control pills)
¬ Changes in sleep patterns
¬ Exercise
¬ Loud noises
¬ Missed meals
¬ Physical or emotional stress
¬ Smoking or exposure to smoke
Certain foods and preservatives in foods
may trigger migraines in some people. Food-related triggers may include:
ü Any processed, fermented, pickled, or
marinated foods
ü Baked goods
ü Chocolate
ü Dairy products
ü Foods containing monosodium glutamate
(MSG)
ü Foods containing tyramine, which
includes red wine, aged cheese, smoked fish, chicken livers, figs, and certain
beans
ü Fruits (avocado, banana, citrus fruit)
ü Meats containing nitrates (bacon, hot
dogs, salami, cured meats)
ü Nuts
ü Onions
ü Peanut butter
This list may not include all triggers.
True migraine headaches are not a result of a brain tumor or other
serious medical problem. However, only an experienced health care provider can
determine whether your symptoms are due to a migraine or another condition.
Symptoms
Vision disturbances, or aura, are considered a "warning sign"
that a migraine is coming.
The aura occurs in both eyes and may
involve any or all of the following:
v A temporary blind spot
v Blurred vision
v Eye pain
v Seeing stars or zigzag lines
v Tunnel vision
Not every person with migraines has an aura. Those who do usually
develop one about 10 - 15 minutes before the headache. However, it may occur
just a few minutes to 24 hours beforehand. A headache may not always follow an
aura.
Migraine headaches can be dull or severe. The pain may be felt behind
the eye or in the back of the head and neck. For many patients, the headaches
start on the same side each time.
The headaches usually:
¬ Feel throbbing, pounding, or pulsating
¬ Are worse on one side of the head
¬ Start as a dull ache and get worse
within minutes to hours
¬ Last 6 to 48 hours
Other symptoms that may occur with the headache include:
Ø Chills
Ø Increased urination
Ø Fatigue
Ø Loss of appetite
Ø Nausea and vomiting
Ø Numbness, tingling, or weakness
Ø Problems concentrating, trouble finding
words
Ø Sensitivity to light or sound
Ø Sweating
Symptoms may linger even after the migraine has gone away. Patients
with migraine sometimes call this a migraine "hangover."
Symptoms can include:
ü Feeling mentally dull, like your
thinking is not clear or sharp
ü Increased need for sleep
ü Neck pain
