Is migraine serious

The human brain is mainly divided into the left brain and the right brain, and the symptom of migraine is pain in one side of the head, not the whole head. Moreover, migraine is a very common headache symptom in most people and is also a common headache disease. However, migraines can be complicated or uncomplicated. So, is migraine a serious phenomenon?

There are many factors that trigger migraines, which can be summarized into two categories: common and rare:

(l) Common triggers: 1. Mental factors: such as anxiety, anger, tension, anxiety or excessive sadness; 2. External physical stimulation: such as strong light, noise, odor, patterns, etc. 3. Dietary factors: hunger or eating late, food types, such as foods containing nitrite, glutamate, aspartate tyramine, chocolate, alcoholic beverages, cold drinks, etc., and reduced magnesium intake in the body due to picky eating can also induce it. 4. Climate changes: such as exposure to the sun, wind, cold stimulation, etc. In addition, lack of sleep, head trauma, excessive fatigue, women's menstrual cycle and taking birth control pills are also common causes.

(2) Rare causes: high fever; excessive sleep; high altitude areas; excessive vitamin A; drugs: nitroglycerin, histamine, reserpine, hydralazine, estrogen; discontinuation of cortisone; cold food; abnormal reading and lighting; irritating odors, spices, organic solvents; fluorescence; allergic reactions.

If left untreated, a migraine attack can last for hours or even days. For patients with mild headaches, general analgesics can be effective. For more patients, severe headaches can affect their work. For those with nausea, vomiting or photophobia, general analgesics are difficult to work with, but the headaches can be relieved after a period of rest or sleep. Some migraine patients are irritable during an attack and often like to live alone or lock themselves in a dimly lit room.
