Migraine
A migraine is a throbbing intense headache that usually occurs on one side of
the head, although both sides may be affected in separate attacks. Migraines are
painful and sometimes disabling and are often accompanied by nausea, vomiting,
and sensitivity to light, noise, and smell. During a migraine attack there are
changes in chemicals and blood vessels in the brain. These changes to the blood
vessels are probably what cause the pain, but migraine is still a condition that
is poorly understood. Migraine headaches tend to recur; a migraine headache typically
lasts 4 to 24 hours but in some cases can last up to 3 days. In many people, migraines
are triggered by reactions to foods. Understanding that food intolerance can contribute
to migraines and then identifying and eliminating the trigger foods is important.
Management of the diet can reduce the severity and / or frequency of headaches
or even stop them.
