Common Questions About Migraine
By Cindi Gass, Thu Dec 8th
How do I know whether this is migraine? This is the most common question most people are unsure aboutdiagnosis of migraine. Though all migraines are headaches, allheadaches are not migraines. There can be many causes like highblood pressure, spondylosis and poor eyesight being afew. So every one with headaches should not think he issuffering from migraine. The broad criterion of diagnosis is ifyou have two or more of the following symptoms during a attackit is probable you are suffering from migraine: a.Throbbing headache, often on one side of the head only. b.Visual disturbances (blink spots, distorted vision, flashinglights or zigzag patterns) these symptoms are often called aura.c.Nausea and vomiting or diarrhea. d.Increased sensitivity tolight. e.Increase sensitivity to sounds.
The second general rule is that if a headache and otherassociated symptoms prevent you from continuing with dailyactivities it could be a migraine. What are the common triggers? Migraine is believed to be caused by release of a chemicalcalled serotonin or 5HT into the bloodstream from its storagesites in the body, resulting in changes in neurotransmitters andblood vessels in the brain. Exactly what causes this to happenis still not clear: However certain factors have been identifiedwhich can trigger attacks in susceptible people: a.Emotionalstress, e.g., anger, worry, shock, depression. b.Physicalexertion like over exertion / tiredness change in sleep patternsand traveling. c.Hormonal changes like menstruation andpre-menstrual period, puberty,

menopause. d.Environmental likelight, loud noise, intense smells, change or climate or smokinge.Diet like lack of food or infrequent meals, specific foodslike chocolate, citrus fruits, cheese, alcohol, especially redwine. f.Other triggers like use of sleeping tablets high bloodpressure, toothache or other dental problems, eyestrain,congested nose and sinus problems. Migraine triggers are numerous and varied and occur incombinations peculiar to a individual. For most there is notjust one trigger but a combination. These can be toleratedindividually but when several occur together, a threshold ispassed and an attack is triggered. Identifying and avoidingpersonal trigger factors can help. If one of my parents suffers from migraines, is it necessarythat I will also have it? Though it has been seen that migraine does run in families, itis not necessary that children of migraine patients will alsohave it. Nor this is true the other way round. People often saythat since nobody in family had migraine, they cannot have. Thisis also not true. It is possible for people to have migraineeven when nobody in the family has it. Migraine is difficult to cure? Migraine is very much a curable disease as any other disease.
