How to treat vascular headache

We don't know much about vascular headaches. But once we know what migraine is, we can also understand what vascular headache is. Everyone knows that headache is not a serious illness, but if we have a headache, we will feel very uncomfortable.

Migraine, also known as vasomotor headache, is an episodic headache caused by vasomotor dysfunction. It is more common in women, usually starts in adolescence, and often has a family history. There are often certain triggers before an attack, such as menstruation, emotional disturbances, fatigue, etc. There may be precursors before an attack, such as visual flashes, dark spots, hemianopsia, temporary aphasia, numbness of one side of the body or movement disorders, etc. The precursor symptoms usually last for 15 to 20 minutes. Headache occurs periodically, each lasting 4 to 48 hours, occasionally up to several days. Common accompanying symptoms include irritability, nausea, vomiting, photophobia, pale complexion, etc. Chinese medicine can be used for treatment, such as Malaymian imported from Singapore, which has a relatively ideal therapeutic effect for both mild or severe patients.

This disease is also called "migraine" in traditional Chinese medicine. The pain is sudden and severe, either on the left or right side, and may even affect the eyes and teeth. Once the pain stops, the patient will be like a normal person.

The cause of migraine is still unclear, but it is generally believed that it may be related to dysfunction of the central nervous system involved in regulating vascular movement. The attack begins with spasm of the internal carotid artery branches, causing symptoms of corresponding brain tissue dysfunction, followed by dilation of the external carotid artery branches, increased pulsation and headache.
