Great Article Regarding Treatments And Cures For Migraines
I recently stumbled across a great article with some sage advice and points to note if you are looking for some practical ways to treat and help eliminate your migraines.
The important parts of the article which stuck out for me were listings of various side effects or symptoms associated with different types of migraine headaches, and there are some causes of migraines that I had not even heard of.
From the article, by Dr. Dr. Shawna Darou:
Food intolerances: When migraine is caused by food intolerances or gastrointestinal imbalance, there may also be digestive upset, bloating, irritable bowel syndrome, fatigue, brain fog, sinus congestion, acne, eczema, among other symptoms.
Blood sugar instability: Low blood sugar can trigger migraines in some people and may also be accompanied by irregular energy patterns through the day, dizziness, irritability, extreme hunger and anxiety.
Magnesium deficiency: When headaches are found in combination with palpitations, constipation, anxiety, insomnia, muscle cramps and menstrual cramps a magnesium deficiency is suspected. These symptoms are compounded by a poor diet, too much sugar, caffeine or alcohol and high stress.
Structural problems: Tension in the jaw, shoulders and neck can cause migraines too, especially when triggered by stress. Work with a good osteopath, chiropractor, acupuncturist or massage therapist can get to the root of these headaches.
