Migraines are intense headaches often accompanied by other symptoms such as nausea, sensitivity to light and sound, and sometimes visual disturbances known as auras. Unlike typical headaches, migraines can significantly impact your daily life.
While the exact cause of migraines remains unclear, they’re thought to result from abnormal brain activity affecting nerve signals, chemicals, and blood vessels in the brain. Triggers can vary widely, including:
Migraine symptoms vary from mild to intense symptoms that may cause you to have to sit or lie down for several hours. They vary from person to person, but common symptoms can include:
Some people experience warning signs, or auras, indicating that a migraine is about to begin.
Although there’s no cure for migraines, managing triggers and lifestyle changes can help reduce their frequency. Regular exercise, adequate hydration, consistent sleep patterns, and stress management can be effective, and a doctor or pharmacist may recommend preventive medications for some.
Getting a migraine diagnosis involves a consultation with a doctor or specialist who will review your symptoms and medical history and conduct a physical examination. However, further tests may be done to rule out other causes in some cases.Â
When treating migraines, the goal is to relieve symptoms and prevent future attacks. The treatment choice depends on the frequency and severity of your migraines, how they affect your daily life, and any other health conditions you might have.
For those experiencing mild to moderate migraine symptoms, over-the-counter pain relief treatments offer a convenient and effective solution. Some of these over-the-counter medications include:
Prescription treatments for severe migraine symptoms are designed to provide specific relief and target the root causes of migraines. Common prescription medications include:
Rizatriptan tablets or melts dissolve quickly in the mouth, offering fast relief by acting on serotonin receptors to reduce inflammation and constrict blood vessels.
Migraines can be linked to genetics. If a close family member experiences migraines, you’re more likely to get them as well.
The duration of migraines varies widely among individuals and even from one episode to another, but typically they last from 4 hours to 72 hours if untreated. However, if your migraines are severe or frequent, speaking with a doctor or booking an online consultation at our migraine pain relief clinic is also advised.
Staying in a quiet, darkened room, applying a cold compress to your forehead and staying hydrated are effective strategies for quick migraine relief. Additionally, over-the-counter medications like Ibuprofen or Paracetamol may offer relief. If your migraines are severe or frequent, speaking with a doctor or booking an online consultation at our migraine pain relief clinic is also advised.
While there’s no known cure for migraines, effective management through medication, lifestyle changes, and avoiding triggers can significantly reduce their impact on your life.
Caffeine can have a dual effect. For some, it can help alleviate migraine pain, especially when combined with painkillers. However, regular consumption can lead to caffeine withdrawal headaches, potentially triggering migraines.
Intense exercise can trigger migraines in some individuals due to changes in blood flow to the brain. However, regular moderate exercise may reduce the frequency and severity of migraine attacks over time.
Both too little and too much sleep can trigger migraines. Maintaining a regular sleep schedule and ensuring you get quality sleep can help reduce the frequency of migraines.
While migraines can cause temporary visual disturbances, they typically do not cause permanent vision loss. However, if you experience persistent or severe visual changes, it’s important to consult a doctor.
Stress is a common trigger for migraines. Techniques like meditation, yoga, and biofeedback can help manage stress levels and potentially reduce migraine frequency.
Mixing alcohol with certain pain relief medications can be harmful. Check the medication’s patient information leaflet or ask a healthcare professional for advice.
