Migraine and headaches are high on the list of health problems that debilitate people around the world each year. Gender seems to be a key factor in determining who is most likely to suffer from this ailment, with statistics showing a breakdown of 39% prevalence for women compared to just 8% for men.
Migraines occur in unpredictable episodes that bring on a throbbing headache that is often times presaged by fuzzy eyesight, undue susceptibility to bright light or loud sounds, and sometimes vomiting. Causes are linked to stress, sudden changes in routine, and consumption of certain foods like chocolate, cheese, and wine. If it’s uncertain that a patient is suffering from migraines or some other ailment, a clue that can clear up the diagnosis is to check if sensitivity to light and sound increases any nauseous feelings. If so, migraine headaches are the most likely culprit.
Patients with migraine headaches commonly report the following attributes:
- 75% report associated neck pain
- 70% have a family history of migraine headaches
- 50% report known triggers, like changes in weather, stress, lack of sleep, alcohol consumption, and eating certain foods
- 46% report nasal congestion
Regardless of the cause, if you have a headache, you want it to end. Fast!
