Most of us have heard of it before, while some of us have actually experienced it first hand. Migraines have been described as perhaps one of the most uncomfortable, unbearable pains that you could ever experience. Some have even ventured to say that it is worse than childbirth! According to Wikipedia, migraines are a neurological syndrome that can cause a wide range of symptoms during an attack. They are most commonly seen in the form of severe headaches, that are often debilitating (some of which actually require medical attention).

In the United States, approximately 18% of women and 6% of men have reported having had at least one migraine episode ranging in seriousness from an annoyance to a life-threatening and/or daily experience (Wikipedia).

What Are the Symptoms?

Typically, migraines can cause episodes of severe headaches, which usually favor one side of the sufferer’s head and/or temple and are pulsating). This will usually last anywhere from four to 72 hours and is sometimes accompanied by such gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea and vomiting, sensitivity to light or extreme sensitivity to noise. In some cases, just before the onset of a migraine, approximately one third of people get an aura in which they sense a strange light or unpleasant smell (much like those who suffer from seizures).

Making it Betterмебели

If you experience signs of a migraine, it is advised that you curtail your normal activities and create a less stressful environment for yourself. Turn out the lights, put a cold compress on the affected area and/or gently massage the painful areas. Migraines can also often be prevented by doing some of the following things:

• establish regular sleep hours
• relax at the end of the day
• minimize distractions
• don’t force yourself to sleep
