Migraines are neurological disorders that present with severe pain, extended duration of suffering, and overall bodily symptoms that may last between one and three consecutive days.
Since the severity of the pain puts migraine headaches in a class of their own, sufferers from such agony are willing to do just about anything to avoid another episode from occurring. This requires not only a conscious decision on the part of the sufferer but also a thorough understanding of the various events that may cause the pain from surfacing.
Learning what a migraine trigger is and how to avoid it does not have to be complicated, but once the information becomes available, migraine patients find that more often than not they have to make some lifestyle changes.
* Migraine headaches that strike in the morning are frequently associated with caffeine withdrawal. Patients are urged to avoid the use of caffeine altogether. On a side note, the one exception to this rule is when a migraine episode can be felt coming on; in this case a high dose of caffeine can open up constricting capillaries in the brain and actually avoid or dramatically lessen the effect of the migraine headache.
* Migraines which occur after a day of irregular eating point to a connection between unstable blood sugar and a trigger event. Lightheadedness is a known side effect of bottoming blood sugar, and in some cases this symptom can lead straight to a migraine headache. Patients will do well to eat regular meals and carry on the go snacks for in between meal nutrition. The goal is a level maintenance of the blood sugar level.
* Stress is a well known trigger for migraines, but the jury is still out on how much stress is too much and leads to a trigger event. To this end it is advisable to avoid stress as much as possible, and mitigate the effects of stress on a daily basis. This requires daily use of relaxation techniques, hot baths for muscle relaxation, and also aromatherapy to help relax the mind as well as the body.
* Weekly respites help with the maintenance of a healthy body and mind. This keeps up your overall bodily health and also provides the mental fortitude that will lessen your susceptibility for a trigger event. Acupuncture and also massage therapy has been found to be a useful tool in the quest for weekly relaxation and body as well as mind maintenance.
* Bad habits, such as responses to stress, may create trigger events. Biofeedback is a known method of learning about such potential triggers and disarming them.
Other triggers are more personal and may not affect a lot of people in the same manner as they affect you. These triggers refer to food and associated substances. For example, you might be borderline lactose intolerant but do not know it, yet when you seek to ingest milk, cheese or yogurt, you will trigger a migraine event that stems from the body’s inability to properly process the items.
