![]() Hi! Here is some info on migraines. Picture someone digging an icepick through the back of your eyes and someone pounding a hammer at the side of your head at your temples with every heartbeat. That is pretty close to what I have felt almost once a week, sometimes more, sometimes less, since I was about 5 years old. I've found out alot of info over the past decade that has been helpful. Foods play a big part in triggering a migraine--especially those that contain amines, which affect the diameter of your blood vessels--may trigger migraines. Any--or none--of these foods may bring on your migraine symptoms: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Other common triggers include: odor of perfume, flowers or natural gas; changes in weather or altitude; cigarette smoking; alcoholic consumption; excessive noise and bright or fluorescent light. For some people, stress or a change in sleeping pattern brings on migraine symptoms. Keeping a headache calendar is your best way of identifying a pattern in the things you do, eat or feel and the onset of a headache. In turn, you can avoid those factors that seem to cause your headaches..
