Migraine is three times more common in women than in men. Unfortunately,
migraines are quite a common condition. People who suffer should avoid factors like alcohol, lack of sleep, nicotine and chocolate and foods that are know to cause attacks. It is very difficult to pin point just which food causes a migraine, and if you suffer from them often it would be useful to keep a food dairy so that you would know for sure.
For instance, if you ate cheese and had a migraine within a short time after: you could cut out the cheese and see what happens. The whole point is to identify the cause straight away.
A lot of people think that hotdogs and some other meat products cause migraine headaches. Is could be true for the simple reason that processed meat products are high in sodium nitrate which one of the main migraine food triggers. Although each migraine sufferer may react to a different food or group of foods, there are a few which seem to pop up as frequent offenders: dairy, wheat, eggs, soy, corn, citrus, chocolate, coffee, beef, yeast, red wine, and processed foods with additives and preservatives
Some people can tell when they are about to have a migraine because they see flashing lights or zigzag lines or they temporarily lose their vision. Doctors used to believe migraines were linked to the opening and narrowing of blood vessels in the head.
Migraine are a likely cause for people to suffer depression and other somatic symptoms like fatigue, joint pain and insomnia. The results of test have showed that chronic headache, severe and high somatic symptoms were strongly linked to major depression, and this link was strongest for those who had also been diagnosed with migraine. The single most common cause of migraines in individuals is stress. As this is the case, life can be difficult for the migraine suffer because stress is defined as anything that can be a physical danger, or something that is perceived to be a danger to our physical or emotional health. If you are living, breathing, or working at this moment, you have stress. It is something you cannot avoid. Stress can be any demand that is placed on us either physically or emotionally and our response to that demand.

that are causing you stress. Have you moved recently, gone to a new job, or had a promotion? All of these may cause stress even if they are good events. After you have made your list, write down how you can relieve some of the stress on the list. You can choose how you respond to stress, you can respond negatively or positively.
Unhealthy ways of coping with stress could involve drug or alcohol abuse, over-eating, self-imposed isolation, and procrastination in performing a task.
Healthier ways of coping with the stress is to exercise, have some time for yourself, balance the work you are doing with a little play time, and use a schedule to manage your time better. Learn to recognize which relaxation techniques work best for you. Maybe you can cope with stress by going for a walk, reading a book for pleasure, or listening to soothing music. Meeting with friends is another way of positively coping with stress. Enjoy a good phone conversation, or write a letter or e-mail to a loved one or friend.
Listening to music can help you cope with stress. Listening to music before you go to bed can relax you and help you to fall asleep. Stay away from rousing rock, or intense fiery music, instead, listen to soothing classical, or the sounds of the ocean. Other soothing sounds can help you relax and release stress before you go to bed.
Taking a warm bath may also aid you in relieving stress. Soaking in a hot bubble bath with scented salts added or candles burning around you and lighting is dimmed is a wonderful way to erase the stress and cares of the day. If you are feeling overwhelmed, a soak in the tub may ease you enough to successfully cope with the stress of the day. A rest in a dark room is also a great way to stop things getting on top of you.
Try some natural treatments for your migraine, they are harmless and as opposed to drugs; do not have any side effects. – Use a sinus mask (they are great in a cool dark room) and they can be applied hot or cold. Have a drink of water or natural juice, especially tomato juice. There's something in natural sugar that helps the body absorb it. Eat a wholesome balanced diet of natural foods including fruit.
Once you have identified your stressors and found ways of coping with them, the next step is to change your behaviour patterns and responses. Recognize the ways you are reacting to the stress in your life. Realize there is some things you can change such as your thoughts and emotional responses to stress, and some stressors are out of your control. Begin changing your behaviour to use healthy coping skills. Practice these new skills even if you don’t feel intense pressure on any given day.
