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

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 odours
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

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
