Causes of migraine crisis

Although they did some research, it is not known yet sure which are the elements that cause migraines. Supposedly there are a series of elements that we add over time and that, once reached "critical mass" cause pain parity. The migraine’s triggers differ from one individual to another, but many sufferers said that certain foods or combinations of foods trigger migraine crisis.

Science disagrees with this theory. They did some studies on the role of certain foods to trigger migraine, but could not reach a conclusion pertinent. Although trigger migraine crisis may be theoretical speaking, any food, sufferers have prepared lists of foods that cause pain. There are some foods that appear on the lists of many personae migraine sufferers. These foods are: Cheese - is a trigger for many sufferers of migraine, especially the cheese house or consistency. With low fat cheeses do not produce or produce fewer crises. Processed meat (meat preparations) - seems to cause migraines parity with nitrates found in their composition. Condiments - dressings and condiments are an important contribution to a crisis of migraine with substances they contain. Flavor improvers are substances which are added to foods to imitate, modify, add or enhance the flavor of existence naturally in foods. Aroma improvers are substances which in combination with other ingredients have synergistic properties. Improvers of flavoring substances are virtually devoid of taste or flavor, but food in relatively low doses administered, substantially improves the taste attributes of those products. Any of these substances may be migraine triggers of the crisis. Seasonings that seem to give migraineurs the most trouble include monosodium glutamate (MSG), common in Asian foods, artificial sweeteners, food dyes, and vinegar. Of course that migraineurs who suspect a food trigger must consider trying an elimination diet to pinpoint the trigger food(s).

Exploring the Connections Between Migraines and Depression

Image
Migraines are more than just throbbing headaches. They're a neurological disorder characterized by intense, recurring pain, often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound. But the impact of migraines goes beyond the physical. Many people with migraines also experience depression, creating a complex and challenging situation. A Two-Way Street: Research paints a clear picture: migraines and depression have a bidirectional relationship. That means: Migraines increase the risk of depression: People with migraines are five times more likely to develop depression compared to those without. The severity and frequency of migraines further elevate this risk. Depression increases the risk of migraines: Individuals with depression are three times more likely to experience migraines. Stress and anxiety, common features of depression, can trigger migraine attacks.     Image by senivpetro on Freepik   Unraveling the Mystery: Why are these two conditions so...

What are connections between frequent headaches and brain cancer?

  While frequent headaches (migraines) can be a concerning symptom, it's important to remember that they are very rarely associated with brain cancer. In fact, most headaches have much more common and less serious causes. However, it's understandable to be worried, so let's explore the connection in more detail:   Headaches and Brain Tumors:   - Headaches are not a typical symptom of brain tumors: while some brain tumors can cause headaches, especially if they press on nerves or blood vessels, this is uncommon. Other symptoms like seizures, vision changes, weakness, or numbness are more frequently associated with brain tumors. - Most headaches have other causes: tension headaches, migraines, dehydration, and sinus problems are much more common causes of frequent headaches. - Key differences in headaches caused by brain tumors: if your headaches are new, different from your usual headaches, worsening over time, and accompanied by other neurological sympto...

Is Depression Linked to Migraines?

There is no evidence if migraines lead to depression or whether depression leads to headaches, but one certainty is that the two diseases are related. This is the result of a study conducted by Carmen Molgat, assistant professor of psychiatry at the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon and Scott Patten, professor of psychiatry at the Calgary University from Calgary, Alberta. The study conducted by the two was based on a sample of 130,000 people in Canada. Monitoring study conducted for several medical conditions, including migraines and depression crisis. Another conclusion of the study was that both migraine and depression crises involve brain activity in serotonin receptors and transporters, receptors for dopamine and adrenaline. This is very important for finding new treatments for both disorders (depression and migraine), as it found that the treatments for migraine have positive effects on depression and antidepressants positively affect migraine crises.
