Understanding Migraines
Even for those who have suffered a migraine, this neurological condition can be a mystery. Researchers have yet to find a specific cause for migraines but were able to identify common factors that tend to bring about migraines. Other than changes in the chemical levels in the brain, common triggers for migraines include:
- Dehydration
- Excess stress
- Changes in sleep patterns
- Bright lights
- Certain foods
It is also common for migraines to be hereditary. Knowing your family’s history with migraines can help lead to a quicker diagnosis and, ultimately, faster, more effective treatment.
Getting an accurate diagnosis for migraine suffers is often a long, tedious road. Migraines often get misdiagnosed as tension headaches. The primary difference between a migraine and a common headache is the quality of the pain. Migraines are typically associated with throbbing pain, usually on just one side of the head, that is worsened with movement or physical activity. Keeping track of other migraine symptoms – such as nausea and sensitivity to light and sound – also help with the diagnosis process.
When receiving your diagnosis, you might hear your doctor refer to your condition as with or without aura. While both still result in debilitating pain, the symptoms are different.
Migraines Without Aura
If you have migraines without aura, you most likely do not have any physical symptoms before your migraine begins. Migraines without aura are the most common type of migraine and are more frequent and intense than migraines with aura.
Since no physical symptoms occur before this type of migraine, doctors base a diagnosis on the presence of pain in the head and one or more other migraine symptoms.
Migraines With Aura
On the opposite side of the spectrum, migraines with aura come with a warning before the onslaught of pain. Physical symptoms such as blind spots, flashes of light, and other changes in vision, as well as a tingling sensation in the hands and face, precede a migraine with aura. Other symptoms that are unique to migraines with aura include muscle tension and speech difficulty. Since these migraines have different traits that common migraines, they are often easier to diagnose.
