Read About Depression Treatment and also read about Atypical Migraine and Basilar artery Migraine
Migraine usually affects people 18 and older. It tends to recur periodically but what really causes migraines is not well understood. The attack lasts couple of hours to several days and has a tendency to relapse. Even after the pain is gone, mild sensation could lasts for weeks. In some cases, attacks can disappear for weeks, months, or even years. All drugs are dangerous. Before a person suffering with a migraine headache takes an over-the-counter medication they should be asking the question "Is the possible benefit worth the risk of taking that drug?" William Osler, M.D. once said "The person who takes medicine must recover twice; once from the disease and once from the medicine." Sadly, this can be all too true.
Migraine Relief
The most common over the counter and prescription drugs used to treat both tension headaches as well as migraine headaches are aspirin, acetaminophen (Tylenol is the best example), ibuprofen (Motrin or Advil are commonly known ibuprofen brands,) or naproxen. Three other pharmaceutical products that have had limited success in the treatment of migraines are primarily prescription medications. These migraine treatments include ergotamine tartrate, and sumatriptan. The third, extra-strength Excedrin is, of course, available over the counter. Excedrin includes caffeine. Caffeine has shown to be of considerable help with both tension headaches as well as migraines.
Types of Migraines
Various types of migraine are abdominal, basilar, complicated, hemiplegic, nocturnal, and cyclic migraine syndrome.
Abdominal migraine is also known as periodic syndrome which is common among children. It typically occurs to those have it in their heredity and this type may lead to a classic migraine.
Basilar migraine, also called Bickerstaff's syndrome, typically affects adolescent women. This occurs when migraine obstructs the circulation the back part of the neck or brain.
Hemiplegic migraine is the rarest among all types but one of the most severe. Its symptoms include temporary paralysis of the motor function and obstructions in the sensory system on a certain side of the body.
Migraine Prevention
Migraine headaches are a destructive part of life for nearly 11 out of 100 people. During migraine episodes, they can barely function. They curtail daily activities, and all of life seems distorted. Between episodes, they may feel anxious about the next one, and wish for some form of migraine prevention. Although migraines seem to run in families, migraine prevention does not always run in the same course. For some migraineurs, prevention is as simple as changing a few habits. For others, migraine prevention seems to require strong medication.
