Migraine Headaches: Triggers and Relief?
Migraine is a severe headache that can last 4 to 72 hours. It is accompanied by sensitivity to lights and sounds, nausea, vomiting, pounding pain on one side of the head around the temple area. In some cases it may affect both sides of the head. Some people have so-called warning signs, or auras, before the migraine strikes. Auras may include flashes of light, blind spots and tingling in arms and/or legs. Auras can happen a day or a few hours before migraine starts. There is no cure for migraines. In fact, doctors don’t really know what causes them. However, there are medications that can provide migraine relief. Doctors have been researching severe migraines for a long time and have been able to create a list of things that can trigger migraines. Genetics and environment play a big role in whether a person gets migraines or not. Hormonal changes, drop in estrogen to be exact, can cause a migraine. That’s why many women experience a migraine right before or during their menstrual period when estrogen is low. Certain foods, like chocolate, aspartame, beer and red wine, aged cheese, too much caffeine, monosodium glutamate, salty foods and processed foods can trigger migraine headaches. Stress is a common cause. Many college students report migraines around important test times. Bright lights, strong smells, both pleasant and unpleasant ones, can be triggers. Lack of sleep, physical exhaustion, environmental changes, such as barometric pressure changes, and medications can provoke migraines. There are medications that provide migraine relief and those designed to prevent it. Pain relieving medications include non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as Advil, Motrin, and combinations, such as Exedrine Migraine, can help with less severe forms of migraines. Triptans are medications for severe headaches. They help relieve pain, nausea and vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound. Ergotamine is a drug that is very effective for long-lasting migraines. Combination of a sedative butalbital and acetaminophen or aspirin provides migraine relief but have a high risk of rebound headaches. Medications containing narcotics, such as codeine, are used sometimes to treat migraines but because opiates are habit forming, they are used only when other medicines are ineffective.

First you are going to want to have someone push one a pressure point. They are under your armpits and under your legs. Then you want to get someone to call 911. After that get gaus on it. You are going to want to reapply it when there is to much blood on it.
