Headache Facts! *Tension Type A tension-type headache is a recurrent headache that can last minutes to days. The pain often is described as pressing or tightening, of mild or moderate intensity, felt on both sides of the head, and does NOT worsen with physical activity. Tension-type headache is usually not associated with nausea or sensitivity to light or noise. *Chronic Daily Like the name implies, chronic daily headaches can occur every day or almost daily. Features of the headache could be those of migraine, tension type, cluster or a combination. *Cluster Cluster headaches recur daily or almost daily for a period of usually 4 to 8 weeks. The headache increases in intensity within 10 to 15 minutes and lasts for 30 to 45 minutes. Attacks may occur one or more times per day and frequently awake the sufferer from sleep. Headache is almost always one sided, and the most common sites of pain are around the eye, temple, and side of the head. Cluster periods typically recur every 1 to 2 years. Rarely is it chronic with no periods of remission. *Sinus Sinus headaches are caused by sinus infection or some other irritation inside the sinus cavities of the face and head. *Rebound Increased use or overuse of painkillers and other analgesics can lead to dependency, causing headaches when drug levels taper.

Re: Migraines and Headaches

Dear Sufferer,

So many today are experiencing what you feel when it comes to headaches. You are not alone. You are tirying so many things that are so costly and have only a little effect.

What is a Headache or Migraine...

Headaches and Migraine are caused by the release of a chemical onto the surface of the brain; this causes arteries at this site to dilate (to widen) and this leads to the headache. This increasing widening makes the pain worse and worse. Migraines appear in episodes rather than being a daily headache.

A migraine attack can also commonly increase the activity of the sympathetic nervous system, which controls responses to stress and pain. This increase can cause nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea. This also contributes to light and sound sensitivity and blurry vision, experienced by some when suffering from migraine.

Who suffers?

Migraines are not choosy - everyone is a potential victim and sufferers come from all walks of life. However, the condition affects 15-18% of women and 6% of men* (the percentage of women sufferers being higher due to hormonal factors). The migraines usually start in teenage years and can continue through to the late forties or fifties. It is rare for your first migraine to occur over the age of 50.

What does it feel like?

Anyone who suffers from migraine will tell you that it’s no ordinary headache. “It can be excruciating. Agony. You feel like you’ve been hit with a sledgehammer.” The pain is sometimes preceded by signs, known as the ‘aura’, which can give you up to an hour’s warning before the headache kicks in.

Typical symptoms can include wavy lines or flashing lights in your field of vision, which then becomes a blind spot. In 77% of cases (our latest research) a migraine is accompanied by nausea and 46% suffer vomiting. In some cases, one side of the body may feel numb. Although sufferers feel fine between attacks, the fear of the next occurrence can restrict their way of life considerably.

How long does a migraine attack last?

Attacks vary in frequency and severity. They can be over in just a few hours or last three or four days with sufferers having to take time off work or miss important social events - having a huge impact on their lives. In our latest research, 76% of sufferers had a holiday interfered with and 70% a family event, as a result of migraines.

Common triggers...

Migraine attacks are rarely caused by one thing alone. They tend to be triggered by a combination of factors unique to the individual. A migraine attack is often triggered when several occur together or accumulate until the sufferer’s threshold is passed.

These are some of the triggers
that can spark a migraine attack:

Yeast * Monthly periods, oral contraceptives, pregnancy, menopause, HRT. This can explain why migraines are more common in women.

**MSG can be found in several foods including some Chinese, processed meats & frozen pizzas.

Although there are no medical tests that diagnose migraine, blood testing can identify whether allergies towards certain foods are present. You can then reduce the intake of these or eliminate them from your diet. Ask your doctor for details.

Causes...

Although much about headaches still isn't understood, some researchers think migraines may be caused by functional changes in the trigeminal nerve system, a major pain pathway in your nervous system, and by imbalances in brain chemicals, including serotonin, which regulates pain messages going through this pathway.

During a headache, serotonin levels drop. Researchers believe this causes the trigeminal nerve to release substances called neuropeptides, which travel to your brain's outer covering. There they cause blood vessels to become dilated and inflamed. The result is headache pain.

Because levels of magnesium, a mineral involved in nerve cell function, also drop right before or during a migraine headache, it's possible that low amounts of magnesium may cause nerve cells in the brain to misfire.

Migraine headache triggers...

Whatever the exact mechanism of headaches, a number of things may trigger them

Signs and symptoms...

A typical migraine headache attack produces some or all of these signs and symptoms:

When left untreated, a migraine headache typically lasts from four to 72 hours, but the frequency with which they occur can vary from person to person. You may have migraines several times a month or just once or twice a year.

Not all migraine headaches are the same...

Most people suffer from migraines without auras, which were previously called common migraines. Some have migraines with auras, which were previously called classic migraines. If you're in the second group, you'll likely have auras about 15 to 30 minutes before your headache begins. They may continue after your headache starts or even occur after your headache begins.

These may include:
