Migrane Headaches – Migraine Headaches – The Same Pain
Tuesday, March 16th, 2010Migrane headaches, or migraine headaches which is the more popular spelling, can occur at any time at any place, and often for no particular reason, and they are a very severe headache losing days of productivity for businesses, and playing havoc with people’s lives. Now you need to realize that this is despite the wide variety of different drug store and pharmacy products available both on the shelves and through the doctor by prescription.
So, what causes these head pain, some with the additional symptom of nausea, and what can be done about them? It is the unfortunate fact that presently there isn’t just one cause of headache pain, and as we are all made up differently, with different stresses and strains in our lives, not any one thing is responsible for everyone’s headaches. For some people, chocolate can trigger headache and nausea, but not every time they eat some particular food. For others, onions can trigger the pain, and the list of foods that can cause headaches seems endless.
The causes are not always foods either, as bright lights can trigger migrane headaches or migraines. It seems that certain conditions have to be met before the headache is triggered, and it can be very challenging to discover the cause, and then to stop it from occurring again.
Tiredness is often a factor in headaches perhaps along with a food that doesn’t agree with you, and naturally, stress can play havoc with the body and how it copes with everything. Being hungry can also lead to headache pain for some, but not all. So in other words, you can see just how challenging it is to discover what has caused any headache when there are so many possibilities, foods eaten, food not eaten, stress levels, exhaustion levels, bright sunlight, heat, cold, drafts, and the list goes on.
Now if you can discover what things usually trigger headaches for you, then you have an enormous advantage over many other headache sufferers, as you can simply avoid those stimuli and hopefully not get another headache like that. But for most of us, we are unable to think of what could have caused the pain.
So, what sort of treatments are recommended for nauseous headaches?
For migranes, a quiet darkened room and sleep works well for many, and although this can get rid of the symptoms, it can leave you totally exhausted the following day.
Now, aromatherapy remedies work well for some people, but as mentioned before, it isn’t a success for every one, and not for every type of headache either. However, they are worth trying to see if they will help your discomfort, so you can try peppermint essential oils, or lavender, eucalyptus or sandalwood too are the oils most often used to give relief from headaches.
Others use hot and/or cold packs to get relief that way, as it helps the blood flow in the area. Now another option is to go for a gentle walk when you have signs of a headache. The exercise will improve the flow of blood around your body, and that will help to relieve the symptoms you are suffering with.
Of course there are plenty of more headache solutions you can try like reflexology, massages, herbs, and so on, and they are definitely worth using to see which works best for you without having to take painkilling drugs to stop them.
