Migraine - the ins and outs
Joe Royal

Migraine is a complex condition which is triggered by
different things in different people. Additionally, the
actual symptoms suffered by different people are usually
fairly unique to them too.

Migraine is commonly described by people as a special kind
of recurring headache where the headache is severe and
usually linked to other symptoms such as feeling sick (nausea),
being sick (vomiting), eyesight changes such as blank spots,
coloured sport, sparkles, stars or blurred patches in their
vision, dizziness, sensitivity to light and noise, lethargy
and fatigue. The changes in vision usually come before the
headache itself and are referred to as the "aura". Two
generalised classifications of migraine are "with aura" and
"without aura". Other classifications are "basilar migraine"
and "familial hemiplegic migraine" where reversible paralysis
occurs.

Susceptibility to migraine is thought to be genetic, with
the predisposition being inherited through particular
genes. However, any person of any age, gender, ethnicity
can get migraine... it is one of the most common of all
painful chronic conditions. Typically, a migraine attack
breaks down into several phases... 1: Pre-headache, 2: Aura
(only 15% of people report this phase), 3: Headache,
4: Resolution, 5: Recovery. Usually the recovery phase
can last for several hours or days and feels like a
hangover.

Several common triggers for migraine are: stress, certain
foods, lack of food, alcohol, the environment, sleep,
exercise, hormonal change in women, oral contraceptives
and other triggers.
