What Causes Migraine Headaches, and How Can They Be Managed? - #14556
I have been experiencing severe headaches with nausea, light sensitivity, and dizziness, and I started wondering whether I might be suffering from migraine headaches. I want to understand what triggers migraines, how they progress, and the best ways to relieve them. Some people say that migraines are just intense headaches, but I am unsure whether they are caused by neurological issues, diet, or hormonal changes. A migraine headache is a neurological condition that causes throbbing pain on one side of the head, often accompanied by visual disturbances (aura) and nausea. Common triggers include stress, hormonal changes, caffeine, lack of sleep, and certain foods like chocolate or processed meats. Many doctors recommend pain relievers (like triptans or NSAIDs), lifestyle changes, and stress management techniques. However, I want to know whether natural treatments like acupuncture, magnesium supplements, or essential oils help in reducing migraine frequency. For those who suffer from migraine headaches, what treatments have been most effective for reducing pain and preventing future attacks? Would love insights into how to manage migraine triggers and whether diet plays a significant role in migraine prevention.
