Are Migraines Giving You a Headache?

About 28 million Americans suffer from migraines. Hippocrates described the symptoms as far back as 400 B.C.E. Migraine headaches tend to be one-sided, throbbing, with moderate or severe pain that is made worse by routine physical activities. During migraine attacks the blood vessels become inflamed and dilated. The pulsing or throbbing pain is triggered by the blood vessel being stretched every time the heart beats. Migraine attacks are always accompanied by something other than the pain; people may have nausea, sensitivity to light, and sensitivity to sound or odors. 20 percent of people experience an aura, or visual display. Experts can’t predict who it will strike, although it does run in families. It even happens to kids who might have stomach pain with their headache. Migraines last from 4 to 72 hours. On average, untreated, they last 24 hours. With effective treatment they could last as little as ten minutes. On average, migraine attacks occur once or twice a month. Triggers are highly individual but can include dietary factors, stress, medications, hormonal or neurotransmitter imbalances, and changes in altitude. Doctors recommend keeping a headache diary in which the patient records when the headache began, how long it lasted, how they dealt with it, and whether treatment was effective. Once a trigger can be established then the appropriate treatment may prescribed. Many times there is a stress and nutritional component. Traditional treatment utilizes various drugs which have proven to be effective but also may have unwanted side effects. In some cases surgery is utilized to remove the muscles that are found to be in spasm.With this in mind Migravent has been developed to naturally and effectively prevent migraines without unwanted side effects. It can even be used in conjunction with your medications under your doctor’s supervision.David Steiner, M.D., Chief of Neurology at Peninsula Hospital, says, “There are many treatment options available for migraines and other headache disorders.
