Ever heard about migraine? As you all know migraine is not only just an ordinary headache. Eversince I am one of the migrainner so I would like to share a bit info about migraine with all of you my lovely readers :)
WHAT IS MIGRAINE HEADACHE?
Migraine headache is caused by vasodilatation (enlargement of blood vessels) that causes the release of chemicals from nerve fibers that coil around the large arteries of the brain. Enlargement of these blood vessels stretches the nerves that coil around them and causes the nerves to release chemicals. The chemicals cause inflammation, pain, and further enlargement of the artery. The increasing enlargement of the arteries magnifies the pain. Migraine attacks are associated with headaches.
The symptom of migraine headache :
- Sometimes the pain is located in the forehead, around the eye, or at the back of the head.
- Aggravated by daily activities such as walking upstairs.
- Nausea, vomiting, cold hands, cold feet, and sensitivity to light and sound.
