Migraine Treatment Centre

A migraine is a headache that usually affects one side of the head and can be extremely painful, throbbing, or pulsating. It frequently comes with high sensitivity to light along with nausea and vomiting. The pain from a migraine episode can be so intense that it interferes with your regular activities and can persist for hours or even days.

Some migraines can be prevented and made less painful with medication. The experts at NHS Neuro Care also suggest some lifestyle changes that can help you manage your migraines.

Symptoms of
Migraine

Migraines can occur in one of four phases. However, it’s possible that not every migraine will not go through every phase. These include:

Prodrome
You may detect little alterations one or two days before a migraine that indicate an impending migraine, such as:

Constipation
Mood Swings
Neck discomfort
More frequent urination
Yawning

Aura
Auras can happen before or during migraines for certain people. Auras are nervous system symptoms that cannot be reversed. The majority of them are visual, but they can also involve other disruptions. Each symptom often starts off mildly, intensifies over a few minutes, and lasts for up to 60 minutes.
Auras associated with migraines include:

Visual phenomena like the perception of different forms, bright spots, or light bursts
Loss of vision
Needles and threads feelings in the arm or leg
Weakness or numbness on one side of the body, the face, or both
Speaking becomes challenging
Attack
If left untreated, a migraine often lasts 4 to 72 hours. Each person experiences migraines differently. Migraines might hit seldom or repeatedly each month. Symptoms of a migraine attack include:
Pain frequently on both sides of your head but typically on one side.
A throbbing or pulsing pain
Sensitivity to scent, touch, and occasionally light and sound
Nausea and Diarrhea

Post-drome
Post-migraine one may feel drowsiness, confusion, and fatigue for up to a day. Some people claim to feel happy. A sudden head movement might momentarily reactivate the discomfort.

Migraine Treatment

The goal of migraine treatment is to treat the symptoms and stop further assaults. Various medications are available to treat symptoms. This includes painkillers, ergotamine medicines, and triptan medications.

The neurologists at NHS Neuro Care suggest that to prevent the attack, you can also do the following actions to feel better:

Sit quietly and sleep
Applying an ice pack or cool towel to your forehead
Consuming Fluids

Apart from the mentioned above alter your way of living in the following ways to avoid migraines:

Ensuring regular sleep cycles and enough sleep.
Eating at regular intervals
Keep a list of the things that tend to trigger migraines. You can find out what to stay away from, such as specific foods and medications. It also aids in helping you decide what to do, such as creating a regular sleeping routine and eating regular meals.
Losing weight might be beneficial if you have obesity.
You might need to use medications to stop subsequent attacks if you get frequent or severe migraines. The best medication for you should be discussed with your doctor.
