Migraines - The "Top Billing" of Headaches

If you've been suffering from painful headaches since you were young, there is a big chance that you may suffer from migraines, which are often also experienced by other members of your family.

Usually, only one side of the head is affected when you experience migraine. Extreme pain is experienced and can last anywhere from 4-72 hours if not treated, and renders you to bed. An attack is unbearable and usually makes the sufferers feel crippled and exhausted after the head pain has passed.

We still don't know why there can be such long periods without a headache for some people and not others. Other symptoms are usually suffered too, like light sensitivity and chills, along with a feeling of lightheadedness.

Most migraine attacks occur between the ages of 10 to 40 years old although no one really knows why this strikes these age groups; however, by the time someone reaches fifty, attacks almost never occur.

Members of the same family are often cursed with migraines and there is believed to be a hereditary link; however, science has not yet proved that there is, in fact, a genetic factor at work.

There is a condition that causes an inflammation of blood vessels in the brain and it's possible that people who suffer have sensitivity in this area. Science can't yet explain why this condition affects women than men but women have a three times greater chance of having the condition; men only have an eight percent chance of ever suffering with the problem.

Before the migraine attack, some people have a distinct warning called an aura which usually precedes the headache by 10-30 minutes. The signs for this attack seem to mostly affect the senses and can include:

Queasiness

Problems with vision

Reduction in the sensations of taste

Difficulty with verbal skills

This is only a short list, and other symptoms can and do happen. Migraines can also attack even without the aura, and builds up to an extreme intensity which is provoked more by continuous motion, light and noise, and often results in nausea and vomiting.

Some medical experts believe it is the contracting blood vessels that are responsible for the migraine with aura effect. It might be that it is the expansion of the blood vessels afterwards that causes the headache; those who are afflicted say the headache is often so intense that it impedes their regular routine, disrupting daily activity and often keeping them awake at night. You may experience one or more triggers with each attack. The most common complaints are bad weather, particular foods and beverages, being at great height, bright lights, insomnia and stress.
