Common Causes of Migraines

Friday, February 26th, 2010

How to Fix Them!

Migraines are a form of headache. Little is understood about them, but new research has shown some triggers and treatments. They affect more women than men, have varying degrees of severity, and have different triggers. Migraines present as more than just a headache. Typical symptoms include: headache (either constant or throbbing pain), nausea, vomiting and sensitivity to light and/or sound. Some people experience warning signs (aura) that a migraine is about to hit. A migraine can last from 4 hours to 72 hours or even longer.

Typical treatments include a painkiller at the onset of the pain, as well as anti-nausea medication to stop any nausea or vomiting.

But, is this enough?

Firstly, let’s look at the triggers. A trigger is so called because it triggers the onset of a migraine. The exact mechanism of how it causes a migraine is still unknown. Common triggers include: alcohol, allergic reactions, pollen, flowers (particularly strong fragrant flowers), chocolate, skipping meals, high sugar diet, high caffeine intake, hormonal changes, stress/tension and even bright lights or sounds. Finding your personal triggers is hit and miss. It requires keeping a journal and identifying what you’ve experienced prior to the migraine. Once you’ve discovered your triggers, you can work on eliminating them.

Many women find their migraines are linked to hormones. They may experience migraines during puberty, pregnancy, before a period or at menopause. The birth control pill may help in treating these migraines by making the hormones even out, so there’s no sharp rise or fall in the levels. Obviously, this won’t be a suitable treatment for everyone, so talk to your doctor.

While some are lucky enough to control their migraines with paracetamol, others need something stronger. Codeine is a popular choice, although care is needed to ensure the correct dose is taken. In the fog of migraine, it is easy to overdose, causing the blood to become too acidic and lead to further problems. Sumatriptan is usually involved for the treatment of a typical migraine, but is less useful for unusually severe migraines. Anti-depressants can also be used successfully for migraine prevention. Once the migraine starts though, these medications are not useful. In all cases of medication, please consult your doctor to find the right treatment for you.

Migraines count for billions of dollars in lost productivity each year around the world. With some understanding of triggers and right medication, the incidence of such a condition may be lessened.
