Again, i suffered from migraine yesterday.

i had migraine for years already.

my mom said she experienced it when she was a teen.

and yet, now is my turn to suffer for it. :(

therefore i decided to google about migraine headaches today as i got nothing to do.

besides that, i wanted to find out migraine treatments and how to prevent migraine to happened frequently.

what is migraine actually ? 

A migraine headache is a form of vascular headache. Migraine headache is caused by a combination of vasodilatation (enlargement of blood vessels) and the release of chemicals from nerve fibers that coil around the blood vessels. During a migraine attack, the temporal artery enlarges. Enlargement of the temporal artery stretches the nerves that coil around the artery and causes the nerves to release chemicals. The chemicals cause inflammation, pain, and further enlargement of the artery. The increasing enlargement of the artery magnifies the pain.

"A migraine is different. Doctors define it as a recurrent headache that has additional symptoms. The pain is often throbbing and on one or both sides of the head. People with migraines often feel dizzy or sick to their stomachs. They may be sensitive to light, noise, or smells. Migraines can be disabling, and teens with migraines often need to skip school, sports, work, or other activities until they feel better."

i agreed with the statements above as i will feel dizzy and vomit everytime i suffer from migraine. besides that, i realized that im very sensitive to light as well. i will definitely close my eyes to relieve my pain.

how to not suffer from migraine pain ? 

• Go to sleep and waking up at the same time each day. - yea. i will suffer from migraine  whenever i sleep late or lack of sleep/rest.

 

• Exercise regularly (daily if possible). Make a commitment to exercise even when traveling or during busy periods at work. Exercise can improve the quality of sleep and reduce the frequency and severity of migraine headaches. Build up your exercise level gradually. Over-exertion, especially for someone who is out of shape, can lead to migraine headaches. - haha. obviously, i do not exercise regulary. 

• Do not skip meals, and avoiding prolonged fasting. - yes, i have to admit that i skipped meal especially for breakfast. 

• Limit stress through regular exercise and relaxation techniques. -yesh, i will have migraine everytime i stress for assignments or assessment. =(

• Limit caffeine consumption to less than two caffeine-containing beverages a day. - no worries. i dont take caffeine. no coffee for me. =)
• Avoid bright or flashing lights and wearing sunglasses if sunlight is a trigger. - yesh. i will feel the pain whenever there's flash light or in bright condition. =S 

migraine visited me more often lately.

i vomit and will feel dizzy everytime i suffered.

i tried few type of medicine before but it's all useless.

i think there are hundred or thousands of panadol in my body for these few years.

but seriously, i dont know what can i do or what can i eat to cure this illness.

im weak and sick. =S
