Migraine Headache
Migraine Headaches are paroxysmal ailments, that are accompanied by a severe headache. The headache normally occurs on one side of the head. Migraine is associated with disorders of digestion, liver, and sight. Migraine headaches occur sometimes due to great mental tension and stress.
Migraine headache patients are typically smart, inflexible, disciplined. Sudden migraine attacks may occur due to overworked muscles in the head and neck and due to continuous stress. The blood flow drops because these tight muscles squeeze the arteries. When the person suddenly relaxes these tight muscles expand and stretch the blood vessel walls.
The blood pumped with each heartbeat then pushes the vessels further causing immense pain. More information on regular headaches

A typical Migraine
suggested by jeannine on Saturday, May 24, 2008
|
| Some migraines involve vertigo and visual disturbance with severe nausea and vomiting. Check with your doctor to be sure there is no inner ear involvement. One thing to do as soon as you feel the first symptom coming on is to get your hands in the hottest water you can stand, until they are bright red. Drink a caffeine beverage; take Ibuprofen, at least 100 mg B6. If you can stand it will help to smoke a cigarette while your hand is in the water. Nicotine is a vaso constrictor. So is caffeine. I spent $35 an hour trying to use biofeedback to dilate the blood vessels in my hands when I decided there was a much easier way. The whole idea is to reduce the excess blood flow to the brain and to reduce the inflammation around the vessel. |
nuerofeedback
suggested by Karin on Tuesday, May 6, 2008

| I have had migraines one or two times a month for the past 20 years and they last three days no matter what. I've tried all kinds of remedies and drugs. Then I tried nuerofeedback. It's been a year now with only two migraines that didn't even last a whole day and not as painful. My sister had the same problem and she did nuerofeedback and she had same results. When you feel like migraine is coming you should avoid certain foods like wine, cheese, olives, msg. etc. |

| It's discovered that most migraine cases are caused by getting overworked, and too much exposure to loud sound and light. So the best remedy is to take a rest in a cool dark place, and the patient should sleep well. |
