It is a neurological problem that usually affects women. To call it a bad headache would be selling migraines very short in their intensity.<br /> <br /> Migraines are triggered by several different things in several different ways. Sometimes they will hit you, whether you have exposed yourself to a trigger or not. Other times, they can be prevented. The important thing is knowing what gives you this condition. In this way you can learn your warning signs and stay away from things you know will make you sick.<br /> <br /> Some are sneakier, though. And these triggers are specific to each person. Though the true problem is the wiring of your brain, it is very hard to change that. The most you can do is take medication, visit an acupuncturist, and avoid your triggers.<br /> <br /> Diet is a major component of migraines--as with every problem with your body. Eat the right things and your body will reward you. Caffeine, especially chocolate, can stimulate migraines. If you eat irregularly or skip meals, this can upset a delicate constitution. If you have any allergies, minor contact with these can also trigger a migraine as an allergic response. Alcohol is another biggie to avoid.<br /> <br /> You must take it easy and get your rest. Poor sleeping and excess stress produce tension, which morphs into tension headaches, which change into migraines. Smoking, apart from being a filthy habit, makes you unhealthy and uncomfortable in another way. It is a major trigger. If you smoke or are frequently around smokers and suffer from migraines, it is time to quit.<br /> <br /> Be careful with any new prescriptions. If you mix medications it is likely that you can get a very undesirable side-effect. This is also true for any major bodily changes. If you have different living habits you can get migraines. They are also tied to pregnancy and a woman's cycle.<br /> <br /> Some people are merely more sensitive. The smell of perfume or going into a candle store is enough to send a delicate system completely over the edge. Loud noises or bright lights can also weaken your feelings of good health. And, since the body is a natural barometer, some people even find a change in the weather to do the trick and bring on a migraine. - 32503</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div class='uawlinks'>Discover how to get <a target='_blank' href="http://stop-migraine-headache-pain-now.blogspot.com/2009/12/migraine-headache-natural-ways-to-find.html">headache pain relief</a> now by going online.

Often, migraines are difficult to treat by Western medicine without using drugs which usually only help with the symptoms. Natural cures can often get at the root of the problem and without any side effects.<br /> <br /> Prevention is always the best way to approach any medical problem, if possible. Try to see if you can determine any triggers for your migraines. For many people, red wine and chocolate have a tendency to bring their migraines on. Also be sure that you are hydrating properly with water and keeping your blood sugar stable with regular meals. Look into ways to relieve stress as well such as tai chi, meditation or yoga.<br /> <br /> One cause of headaches such as migraines are bones not being in alignment or neck muscles that are very tight. Chiropractic treatment can often be of help. The chiropractor may suggest diagnostic texts such as x-rays to be performed if it seems likely that there is something else that needs to be treated.<br /> <br /> Another treatment that works well for migraines are cranial sacral sessions. In some cases, these are performed by an osteopath. Most times they are done by massage therapists who have taken specialized training. These treatments also help release muscles, adjust alignments as well as to balance out the energy in the area of pain.<br /> <br /> For balancing energy, one can also opt for acupuncture treatments. These are often very successful in the resolution of migraines. In many cases, the acupuncturist will also prescribe herbal formulas for you. These can address both the pain during attacks as well as the underlying condition that is causing the headaches.<br /> <br /> Migraines are often misdiagnosed as well so try not to focus on the label. It is easy to feel that there is no hope. But if you look into some different natural approaches you may well find one or a combination that cures your headaches. - 32503</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div class='uawlinks'>Find the best <a target='_blank' href="http://stop-migraine-headache-pain-now.blogspot.com/2010/01/some-migraine-headache-home-remedies.html">migraine treatment</a> out there.

Clark</div><br /><div class='uawarticle'>Experiencing <a target='_blank' href="http://www.chronicdailyheadache.com">chronic daily headache</a> is a nightmare situation. Headaches that just will not go away, no matter what pain killer you take. That is often half of the problem, too many people take pain killers to treat their pain when really they are getting rebound pain. The body becomes used to taking pain killers and wants more so it reproduces the pain. The way the body works is very clever.<br /> <br /> Stress is also a common reason why people experience pain in the head area. An individual can only deal with a certain amount of stress before they start to suffer with the results of it. Today we are living busier lives than we ever have.<br /> <br /> There are all kinds of reason why a person might suffer with this pain, in today's world it is often caused by the stress we experience. Life is a lot more chaotic than it ever was. We are living in a recession where many people have lost their jobs, yet others live in fear of losing them. Along with the recession, families with children struggle to feed them and provide for their needs.<br /> <br /> Finding out why you are suffering from head pain can be one step towards discovering a way of dealing with it. If stress is the root cause then find ways of relaxing or cutting back on time spent at work. Learn to recognise when you take too much stress on and say no more. If your boss is expecting you to take more on than what you feel capable of, talk to them and tell them.<br /> <br /> By trying out natural therapies, help is found and the condition is improved. The body will tell a person if it is unwell and as long as the warning signals are not ignored, then the condition can be treated before it gets out of control. Natural remedies and therapies are becoming much more popular.<br /> <br /> People seek help by using aromatherapy oils such as, lavender. Lavender helps a person to relax and clears the head. People look at their diet and try eliminating the bad food that may be causing the condition in the first place. Once a healthy lifestyle is maintained a person notes a remarkable improvement.<br /> <br /> There is no doubt about it head pain on a daily basis, is becoming a popular occurrence in our modern day lives. However, a person does not have to put up with living in pain. Rather than running to the jar of pain killers that will only add to the health conditions use a natural approach. Everyone experiences rebound headaches if they take too many tablets every day, that is why we need a natural approach. - 32503</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div class='uawlinks'>Looking to find the definititve source of information on <a target='_blank' href="http://www.chronicdailyheadache.com">chronic daily headache</a>? </div><br /> </div>judesterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01496132760585515007noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8293664588195574078.post-27714963190636918072010-02-19T12:02:00.000-08:002010-02-19T12:10:49.801-08:00How To Cure A Migraine Headache Without Maxing On Tablets<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>By Kylie Johnson</div><br /><div class='uawarticle'>Is it possible to halt a migraine without having to over-doze in pain killers? You bet! Many pain killers are derived from nature - from trees and shrubs, some of which we see almost every day around us. This does not mean to say however that over-indulging in these is good for us. Quite the contrary. So what else is there besides pain killers?<br /> <br /> * Studies show that getting a good amount of sleep through the night is helpful in reducing the symptoms of regular migraine. This means around 7 to 9 hours of sleep a night. Not at all easy for everyone nor is it possible for many due to work commitments or a young child to care for and any of a number of other reasons.<br /> <br /> * Meditate. A great way to destress after work is to find a quiet place - even for a short while - and meditate. No, this does not mean humming to yourself or floating in the air. It does mean focusing upon something or somethings that relax you and make you feel good with yourself. Positive thinking does, after all, do wonders!<br /> <br /> * Aromatherapy. Nice! Imagine lying on your front enjoying a nice soothing aromatherapy session. The smell of the oils are themselves enough to make you feel more relaxed, let alone the touch of the aromatheripists hands upon your aching muscles. Even the thought of it is plenty to make you more relaxed. Great for soothing a migraine too!<br /> <br /> * Diets and food and drink intake. I think you know without me saying here about what you should and should not be putting down your throat. Too much caffeine - migraine! Too much alcohol - migraine! Too much junky food - sore stomach and potentially a migraine! Try to avoid over-indulging in any of these "pleasures".<br /> <br /> * Eye compress. There are a number of eye compresses that can be used to ease a migraine and it is claimed reduce puffiness around the eyes. A towel dipped in cold water and draped over the eyes while you rest can be helpful. - 32503</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div class='uawlinks'>For other health related issues please visit <a target='_blank' href="http://www.articleblast.com/Women/PMS/Female_Menstrual_Problems_-_The_Different_Kinds/">migraines and period pain</a> where you can learn more about <a target='_blank' href="http://www.articlesbase.com/womens-health-articles/what-are-the-different-types-of-womens-menstruation-problems-1838593.html">menstral problems and how to tackle them</a>. </div><br /> </div>judesterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01496132760585515007noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8293664588195574078.post-13698807688591065912010-02-16T13:03:00.000-08:002010-02-16T13:29:57.556-08:00A Look At How To Get Rid Of Sinus Headache Pain<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>By Porter Smith</div><br /><div class='uawarticle'>Millions of people suffer from sinus headaches. So, what causes this awful pain? Sinusitis is the inflammation of the sinus cavities due to infections. These infections could be viral, fungal or bacterial. Pressure is created by the inflammation and this leads to a headache. Sinusitis can range from acute to chronic. Acute sinusitis last up to 4 weeks, sub acute sinusitis will last for 4-8 weeks and chronic sinusitis plagues the sufferer for more than 8 weeks. How to get rid of sinus headache pain can be answered medically or non-medically.<br /> <br /> Over the counter decongestants which contain Pseudoephedrine are often effective against such headaches. Pseudoephedrine stimulates the cell receptors of the sinuses as well as the throat and nose. Blood vessels in these places narrow, inflammation is reduced and more mucus is produced. With less inflammation and with mucus draining from the sinus cavities, headaches ease.<br /> <br /> More serious infections may require a trip to the doctor's office. Your physician may find that you need a prescription for a more powerful decongestant. He or she may also determine that antibiotics are necessary. A broad-spectrum antibiotic, such as cephalosporin, might be used to fight a wide array of bacteria or a narrow-spectrum one, such as penicillin, may be used to target very specific bacteria culprits.<br /> <br /> A non-medical approach to think about is the use of a humidifier to increase moisture in the air. A vaporizer is a humidifier that boils the water that gets dispensed into the air. This is good because since the water is boiled, any impurities in the water may be killed before reaching the air. Thus, air may be healthier than with the use of a cool mist humidifier.<br /> <br /> Another simple idea is to take a hot shower. The steam created by the shower can help drain built-up mucus from the sinuses and bring headache relief.<br /> <br /> Sinus headaches are no fun. Fortunately there are myriad options for sufferers to turn to, both pharmacological and non-medicinal. If the condition unduly persists or becomes more severe a trip to the doctor is strongly advised. - 32503</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div class='uawlinks'>You can start learning about the easy way to relieve <a target='_blank' href="http://stop-migraine-headache-pain-now.blogspot.com/">sinus headache</a> today!

In actuality there are a number of clear pointers which make it fairly obvious on the whole if its a migraine or if its sinuses. Lets have a look now at which is which.<br /> <br /> The term for this sort of event is "prodromata". It occurs when the blood vessels constrict and then suddenly come open which causes leakage through the walls of the blood vessels. It brings about a throbbing sensation and is the cause of the headache. It most often is worse than a tension headache and most people find that lying down with a cold compress applied to the head is the best form of remedy. The compress will help to constrict the blood vessels that are swollen. Migraines are very variable in nature. For example, with the onset of pregnancy or menopause they can become worse or indeed stop all together. <br /> <br /> Most sinus pains are caused by the failure of the nasal cilia - very small hairs - in removing toxins and bacteria. One way to remedy this scenario is with hydro pulse nasal/sinus irrigation which helps to restore the movement of the cilia. This action is also therapeutic and relaxing. Recurring sinus headaches are caused due to inflammation remaining within the sinal cavity. A sufferer may well have taken the correct antibiotics but because the cilia are not able to remove the toxins and bacteria another infection occurs. With pulsatile irrigation this problem does not happen. There is no further need for antibiotics when the bacteria are greatly reduced in the sinuses and nose. <br /> <br /> Many or even most sinus pains are down to a failure of cilia in the nasal cavities. These cilia are very small hairs that line the walls of the nose and remove toxins and bacteria. Re-occuring sinus headaches are due to the sinal cavities remaining inflamed. It may well be that the sufferer has taken the correct antibiotics and these have worked well but the toxins and bacteria in the nasal cavities are still there and thus cause further infection. If pulsatile irrigation is undertaken then this problem no longer persists. In which case there is no requirement for continuous antibiotics.<br /> <br /> Sinuses may be blocked due to a vacuum which causes pain and discomfort. There are a number of anti-inflammatory products on the market however that do work well in this case. Prednisone and Aleve are two of those. There are other products such as Clear-Ease that acts as a lozenge and will melt when sucked in the mouth. This product contains papain and bromelain and it helps to ease any vacuum in the sinus area.<br /> <br /> Other sinus pains can be confused with those of migraine. The nasal septum which commonly becomes crooked and presses on the nerve is one such example. The sinus can become blocked thus causing a vacuum. The nose may not be congested and any xrays will not show anything unusual with this sort of sinus problem. - 32503</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div class='uawlinks'>Headaches and migraines are a definte factor with regards <a target='_blank' href="http://ezinearticles.com/?How-to-Deal-With-Your-Menstruation-Successfully&id=3726339">womens menstruation difficulties</a> Please click the link to learn how to <a target='_blank' href="http://www.goarticles.com/cgi-bin/showa.cgi?C=2565359">deal with pms effectively</a>. </div><br /> </div>judesterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01496132760585515007noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8293664588195574078.post-34674856211180965322010-02-12T10:04:00.000-08:002010-02-12T10:36:28.594-08:00Migraine Relief Through Chiropractics<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>By Scarlett Gillman</div><br /><div class='uawarticle'>Chiropractic care may be a safe, non-invasive method to alleviate migraine suffering while not the utilization of medication. Chiropractic migraine treatment is not for everyone, but it may be significantly useful for patients who cannot use prescription medication thanks to different risk factors.<br /> <br /> Migraine sufferers have a love-hate relationship with caffeine. For many, the constrictor helps alleviate their migraine pain. For an equal number, the chemical could be a migraine headache trigger. The connection between caffeine and migraines is anything but straightforward.<br /> <br /> For caffeine addicts who discover that their daily cuppa may be a migraine trigger the matter of caffeine is particularly thorny. Individuals who frequently consume large quantities of caffeine often expertise withdrawal headaches if they are doing not get their regular java jolt. If they are predisposed to migraines, the headache they get if they cut out the caffeine is going to be a large one. Several people suppose caffeine withdrawal alone will bring forth a migraine. Regular caffeine drinkers are suggested to lower their caffeine intake slowly so they do not send their body into withdrawal.<br /> <br /> Many migraine pain relievers embody caffeine. The constrictive action of caffeine helps relieve migraine pain for a few people. One current theory of what precisely goes on in the pinnacle during migraine proposes that arteries in the temple get inflamed during an attack and restriction would cut back the inflammation. Another attainable reason to include caffeine in a very migraine medication is because it acts as a supplement to the main analgesic. Studies have shown that a lot of analgesics function additional efficiently and pack a greater punch when paired with caffeine, though nobody is sure exactly why.<br /> <br /> Caffeine shows up in several surprising places, so those who are sensitive to it (not all are) would like to be vigilant label readers. Everybody knows concerning beverages, things like coffee and colas. Caffeine is also found in several clear or fruit-flavored sodas. Caffeine can be found in chocolate; the darker the chocolate the additional caffeine it contains. Caffeine is in many over-the-counter analgesics, and not always clearly labeled. Migraine sufferers ought to be particularly warty of caffeine in over-the-counter migraine formulas of normal medications.Migraine headaches are idiopathic. This means that despite the last century's advances in medical science their cause remains unknown. A range of theories exist to clarify migraines. They include a possible serotonin deficiency, genetics malformations, and arterial swelling within the cranium.<br /> <br /> A typical chiropractic theory is that tension in the muscles at the bottom of the skull and the neck cause, or contribute to, the formation of migraine headaches. These are tense areas in the muscles adjoining the small bones of the higher spinal column. On an x-ray, the bones seem to be in the correct place and medical doctors often miss the tension in the muscles. A chiropractor gently manipulates the spine to relax these areas.<br /> <br /> Chiropractors offer 2 kinds of look after migraine patients, straight chiropractic and mixed chiropractic. Straight chiropractic only involves manipulation of the spine and spinal muscles. Mixed chiropractic care combines traditional manipulation with other complementary techniques. The main focus in mixed chiropractic is to cut back overall neck strain and tension.<br /> <br /> Researchers at Northwestern School of Chiropractic in Minnesota recently compared chiropractic care with drug therapies for migraines and chronic tension headaches. The study was revealed within the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics. Two hundred eighteen headache patients got either drug therapy or regular chiropractic care. Both groups reported a 40-50% reduction in headache pain at the end of the study.<br /> <br /> Follow ups four weeks when discontinuing all care showed solely the chiropractic group still enjoying the pain reduction the treatment initiated. Solely twenty-twenty five% of the drug therapy patients were still benefiting from their treatment at this follow up. - 32503</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div class='uawlinks'>Looking to find the best deal on <a target='_blank' href='http://www.chiropractic-raleigh.com/'>chiropractor in Raleigh</a>, then visit www.chiropractic-raleigh.com to find the best advice on <a target='_blank' href='http://www.chiropractic-raleigh.com/'>Chiropractor Raleigh</a> for you. </div><br /> </div>judesterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01496132760585515007noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8293664588195574078.post-45822140860382056442010-02-03T11:09:00.000-08:002010-02-03T11:10:10.925-08:00What Are Coital Headaches?<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>By Bob Jones</div><br /><div class='uawarticle'>Although orgasm is usually an enjoyable and happy experience for most people, it can become painful for others who find that it triggers coital headaches. For these people, sexual activity can actually cause these coital headache attacks.<br /> <br /> Technically, a headache, or cephalalgia, is a symptom of various conditions of the head and sometimes the neck too. They can be classified into two main categories: primary or idiopathic, and symptomatic, although there are other ways of classifying them too; for example by severity.<br /> <br /> Put simply, primary headaches have a known or unknown cause, whereas symptomatic headaches are often caused by trauma. Primary headaches include: migraine, tension headaches, cluster headaches and coital headaches, amongst others.<br /> <br /> Coital headaches, also called coital cephalalgia or sexual headaches, is a rare, but painful type of headache that begins in the nape of the neck during sexual intercourse, but before climax. It can happen in all conditions where climax is the expected result. The pain can move to behind the eyes and can then become even worse. Typically the pain will last from a few minutes to an hour or so, but some cases have been known to continue for days in the worst examples.<br /> <br /> It is surprising to many to discover that men are three times more likely to experience coital headaches than women and the people most at risk are those between 20 and 25 and 30 and 44. Doctors do not really knows why this should be. Coital headaches afflict about one percent of the population, although this number could be a lot higher because of people being embarrassed to talk about it.<br /> <br /> Moreover, coital headaches are benign, which means that they have no long-term adverse consequences, so far as doctors know. It appears that people taking sexual stimulants, like Viagara, are roughly 10% more at risk to a coital headache. In deed, apart from the obvious, temporary pain, the worst issues of coital headaches are varying degrees of dizziness, confusion and stiffness of neck.<br /> <br /> However, it is still worth while going to a doctor though, especially in the beginning, just to rule out the more severe causes of headaches, such as brain tumours and blood clots. However, the doctor can do very little to help by way of cure. He may recommend a complete abstention from any kind of sexual activity for a period varying from days to weeks or he may suggest trying taking medication some time before sexual activity begins.<br /> <br /> Some of the headache medications that can be taken are <i>indomethacin, imitrex, zomig</i> and <i>propranolol</i>, although if the headaches persist, your doctor may recommend daily preventive medication. People suffering from frequent coital headaches may experience a positive response to migraine preventive medications, such as <i>beta blockers</i> or <i>verapamil</i>. Non-steroidal anti inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) such as <i>ibuprofen</i> may also be helpful. Coital headaches and migraines are also more likely to occur if a person is in poor physical shape.<br /> <br /> However, the cure for coital headaches for many people can be as simple as bringing your weight up or down to the normal weight for your size. Coital headaches can also be cured in some sufferers by an increased level of exercise, although this could bring on exertion headaches in a few cases.<br /> <br /> The good news is though that most headaches related to sex are not serious in nature. In deed, different studies actually suggest that orgasm can relieve headaches and migraine in some cases. This implies that for some adults, refusing sex may actually be the reason that prevents headache treatment. - 32503</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div class='uawlinks'>If you suffer from <a target='_blank' href="http://www.stopping-headaches.the-real-way.com/Coital-Headaches.html">migraine or headaches</a>, you really ought to definitely go to our website on <a target='_blank' href="http://stopping-headaches.the-real-way.com">Stopping Headaches</a>. </div><br /> </div>judesterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01496132760585515007noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8293664588195574078.post-30389585222795126402010-01-29T12:44:00.001-08:002010-01-29T12:44:52.190-08:00How To Get Rid Of A Migraine Headache Naturally: Relief Without Drugs<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>By Porter Smith</div><br /><div class='uawarticle'>If you want relief without the troublesome and sometimes dangerous chemicals found in prescription migraine medications, you can learn how to get rid of a migraine headache naturally.

Today we look at the connection between migraines during pregnancy and how this affects you and your babys health.<br /> <br /> Experiencing migraines while pregnant has been linked to an increase in the chance of having a stroke, according to a study in the United States. It found that you were fifteen times more likely to have a stroke compared to woman who were not pregnant.<br /> <br /> Information was collated from over 33,000 pregnant women who were also experiencing migraines.<br /> <br /> Age was a determining factor, as women over the age of 40 were nearly two and a half times more likely to suffer from a migraine than women under the age of twenty. White women were also more likely to experience migraines during pregnancy than any other race or ethnicity.<br /> <br /> Migraines have also been linked to a rise in the risk of heart disease, blood clots, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes. They suggest it is possible that the migraine itself is an indication that the cardiovascular system is not working as well as it should be.<br /> <br /> The authors suggest that the most logical explanation for the findings lies in the interaction between migraines and the normal physiological changes during pregnancy (such as increased blood volume and heart rate) which put extra stress on the vascular system.<br /> <br /> Previous studies have pointed towards a problem with the cells that make up the inner wall of blood vessels. It is thought that they don't function correctly when a woman is pregnant and also suffers from migraines.<br /> <br /> The study further links migraines with an increase in the risk of stroke and heart disease, particularly when accompanied with a visual distortion or an aura. - 32503</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div class='uawlinks'>If you are worried about <a target='_blank' href="http://www.pregnancymigraine.com">headaches during pregnancy</a> and want to obtain more knowledge then you can get all the informfromion you need from <a target='_blank' href="http://www.pregnancymigraine.com">pregnancy headaches</a> </div><br /> </div>judesterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01496132760585515007noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8293664588195574078.post-56905251529314604872010-01-21T13:36:00.000-08:002010-01-21T13:45:53.274-08:00There Are Countless Natural Remedies Migraine Headache Sufferers Can Use<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>By Porter Smith</div><br /><div class='uawarticle'>Anyone who suffers with migraine headaches can tell you that is no pain even close to a full blown migraine headache.

Let's look into how this effects you and your baby.<br /> <br /> The increase in frequency of headaches while pregnant is considered to be due to additional blood flow and changes to your hormones. Other factors, such as increased in stress levels and excess caffeine, also contribute.<br /> <br /> Approximately 20% of women will experience headaches while being pregnant and most find that they occur less in the last few months. Although they can worsen after the baby is born.<br /> <br /> Cold packs, soothing, sleep and darkened rooms are all methods of treatment for headaches, without taking drugs.<br /> <br /> Headaches caused by tension can be alleviated by using cold compresses to aches along the back of your neck. You can also alleviate headaches by ensuring you have a balanced, healthy diet and having several small meals in a day.<br /> <br /> When sinus headaches occur, warm compresses have be known to help. Apply these to to your temples, forehead and either side of your nose as these are the areas occupied by your sinuses.<br /> <br /> You can do exercises to help you reduce stress, like imagining you are in a tranquil place. You can experiment with different methods to try to reduce your stress levels but if these do not work you can get in touch with your doctor or a therapist as it can be helpful to have someone to talk to.<br /> <br /> It is better not to take any medication, unless prescribed by your doctor, although acetaminophen is considered safe to take while pregnant.<br /> <br /> Talk to your doctor before taking pain relievers, even if you have taken over the counter medicines such as ibuprofen or aspirin for pain before you were pregnant. Acetaminophen is usually safe during pregnancy, but again, it is best not to use medications unless your doctor has prescribed them. - 32503</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div class='uawlinks'>If you are worried about <a target='_blank' href="http://www.pregnancymigraine.com">headaches during pregnancy</a> and want to gain more knowledge then you can obtain all the information you want at <a target='_blank' href="http://pregnancymigraine.com">pregnancy headaches</a> </div><br /> </div>judesterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01496132760585515007noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8293664588195574078.post-14018707563302212392010-01-19T12:40:00.001-08:002010-01-19T12:40:09.243-08:00The 3 Part Guide to Managing Your Pregnancy Headaches<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>By Petra Vollavic</div><br /><div class='uawarticle'>Migraines are bad to experience under normal circumstances, let alone when you are pregnant.<br /> <br /> Let's look at migraine triggers, a migraine diary can help identify your trigger and start avoiding the migraine these triggers.<br /> <br /> Try these easy steps to help relieve or stop your pregnancy migraine.<br /> <br /> 1.

If you suffer from them, try these natural approaches to curing or preventing them.<br /> <br /> First of all, you should note that research has shown that as many as 90% of migraines and headaches are a result of dehydration. This means that simply drinking water at regular intervals can be enough to prevent the majority of problems. It is also best to stay away from coffee, soft drinks, and other sources of caffeine, as these will make you more, not less, dehydrated.<br /> <br /> The role sleep plays in alleviating just about every form of pain can not be underestimated. It is essential for your general peace of mind, and just as important for preventing headaches and migraines. Everyone needs at least 6 hours sleep per night, but ideally a couple more than that too.<br /> <br /> Exercise can help prevent migraines and headaches as it releases mood enhancing chemicals called endorphins and lowers stress levels. Do some aerobic exercise in the morning for 15-30 minutes. You can keep it light and easy, as you just need to get your blood, and the oxygen in it, flowing more readily around your body, particularly to your brain.<br /> <br /> While particular foods help alleviate headaches and migraines, there are more that cause them. In particular, be aware of foods with a content of sugar, which cause problems for many people. Other foods to watch out for are those which you may be unknowingly allergic to, for example, dairy products and wheat. Try to avoid suspected foods for two weeks to a month and see if there is any difference in the amount of headaches and migraines that you have.<br /> <br /> These suggestions will not prevent or cure all headaches and migraines, but they will have a significant, positive effect in most cases. - 32503</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div class='uawlinks'>If you liked this, try : <a target='_blank' href='http://1to101.com/Pharmacist_(Training)'>How To Become A Pharmacist</a> </div><br /> </div>judesterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01496132760585515007noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8293664588195574078.post-38981554389337811272010-01-11T03:30:00.000-08:002010-01-11T04:04:47.136-08:00The Different Types Of Headaches<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>By Rose Williams</div><br /><div class='uawarticle'>There are a large number of commonly-known sort of headache, which include, but are not limited to: sinus headaches, migraine headaches, tension headaches, chronic headaches, blood pressure headaches, chronic cluster headaches and tension headaches.<br /> <br /> A migraine headache can be a rather severe, debilitating headache. This type of headache has a profound effect on the every day lives of its sufferers. The pain is either a pulsating sensation or sometimes a throbbing kind of head pain. This throbbing pain can vary from moderate to severe. The symptoms of migraine headaches include nausea and extreme audio-visual sensitivity. The migraine kind of headache usually comes with a precursive warning feeling sometimes called an 'aura'.<br /> <br /> This aura is experienced in the form of changes in visual perception. You may see bright flashes or blurs and sometimes you may even lose part of your vision. You may even experience a numbness or a tingling in your arms. These warning symptoms will fade a while before the migraine attack begins. A migraine headache can last for about three days without any treatment, before it recedes.<br /> <br /> The types of tension headache cause a dull, constant pain in the forehead, the sides or back of the head. Some people liken a tension headache to a tight band wrapped around the head. This is thought to be one of the most common types of headache. A tension headache does not produce symptoms such as light sensitivity, nausea and vomiting.<br /> <br /> Tension headaches are known as episodic or chronic kinds. Generally speaking, most sufferers of this kind of tension headache, get chronic headaches. It is thought that about 40% of the population suffers from tension headaches at some time or another in their lives. Another of these kinds of headache is the Chronic daily headache.<br /> <br /> Most of the time chronic daily headaches are tension headaches or headaches that are caused by too much pain medication. In these types of headache, the pain is a constant, dull pain. There is also a feeling or tightness like a rubber band around the head. A chronic daily headache can be distinguished by duration: that is the pain must last for 15 or more consecutive days per month during a three month period of time. <br /> <br /> Another sort of headache is the Cluster headache group, which is a rare but very painful sort of headache. The name of the headache comes from the fact that the headache happens in clusters of pain. Frequently, periods of continuous Cluster headaches may last weeks or months. This time is followed by long periods of no headaches at all.<br /> <br /> Cluster headaches are usually to be found only on one side of the head at a time. The sharp, penetrating pain starts behind one eye. Furthermore, cluster headaches may cause red, watery eyes, a stuffy nose and sometimes symptoms like nausea and light sensitivity are occur too.<br /> <br /> These are a few of the various sorts of headaches that can occur. The pain from the headache can be mild or it can be very severe. To find relief from these headaches you must talk with your doctor about medication or you can buy some over the counter headache pain medication. - 32503</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div class='uawlinks'>If you suffer from <a target='_blank' href="http://www.stopping-headaches.the-real-way.com/Cause-of-Migraine-Headaches.html">migraine or headaches</a>, you should definitely visit our website on <a target='_blank' href="http://stopping-headaches.the-real-way.com">Stopping Headaches</a>. </div><br /> </div>judesterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01496132760585515007noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8293664588195574078.post-6108173132642415872010-01-09T06:17:00.000-08:002010-01-09T06:28:22.831-08:00Cluster Migraines and Magnesium - The Ultimate Treatment For Cluster Headaches?<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>By Leslie Bogaerts</div><br /><div class='uawarticle'>When I first found out my husband suffers from one of the most severe headaches that exist, cluster headaches, I also learned that there isn't a successful treatment at this time. The first thing I did when we got home was going online and look for everything I could find on cluster migraines. I did find a couple of treatments that aren't proven yet, but that did help a large number of cluster headache sufferers.<br /> <br /> One such treatment uses magnesium. While doctors have not yet found how cluster migraines are related, it is true that magnesium supplements can help with the pain of cluster headaches, sometimes even reducing the number of attacks that happen in an active cycle.<br /> <br /> Why magnesium deficiencies are not identified or treated<br /> <br /> Prior to 1956, no one knew that people could have magnesium deficiencies. Since then, only a small part of the medical field and the public has learned how magnesium deficiencies can affect our health. What are the reasons for this? The main issue is that most doctors don't train with a focus on magnesium. Since even doctors are unaware of the problem, how are the going to diagnose it or teach about it? Until they do more studies about the effects of magnesium on our health, there will be no progress.<br /> <br /> The relationship that occurs between magnesium and cluster headaches.<br /> <br /> In a single research study, of all the individuals with different kinds of headaches, the cluster sufferers had the smallest levels of magnesium. With two different studies, the outcome revealed that magnesium was very efficient in treating cluster headaches. On the other hand, most physicians won't prescribe magnesium as a remedy to cluster migraines. Generally, this is due to the fact that they lack understanding on the subject. However, is this truly the doctor's fault, or is it because the medical industry won't spend substantial time and money on studying the impact of magnesium deficencies?<br /> <br /> Treating migraines with magnesium <br /> <br /> Talk to your doctor before taking magnesium tablets. Here are some recommendations for treating migraines. For migraines, you should generally take 300-400mg. I would say use at least 400mg. Many multivitamins only have 50-100mg, so feel free to take both. Try the Ultra-Mag Magnesium complex by Source Naturals. This has a combination of magnesium citrate, malate, taurinate, glycinate, and succinate.<br /> <br /> To conclude, if you are a cluster headache sufferer, you should look at the possibility of taking magnesium supplements to treat you headaches. But don't take my word for it. Do more research yourself, talk to your doctor, search online. And try it for your self, it might have a better outcome than you could imagine. - 32503</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div class='uawlinks'>After having resided with a cluster headache patient for the past couple years, I learned how to recognize when the attacks would start and how to deal with them.

Chiropractic migraine treatment isn't for everyone, but it may be notably helpful for patients who cannot use prescription medication because of alternative risk factors.<br /> <br /> Migraine headaches are idiopathic. This suggests that despite the last century's advances in medical science their cause remains unknown. A number of theories exist to elucidate migraines. They embody a potential serotonin deficiency in migraineurs, genetics malformations, and arterial swelling within the cranium. <br /> <br /> A typical chiropractic theory is that subluxations within the muscles at the bottom of the skull and therefore the neck cause, or contribute to, the formation of migraine headaches. Subluxations are tense areas in the muscles adjoining the tiny bones of the upper spinal column. On an x-ray, the bones seem to be in the correct place and medical doctors usually miss the strain in the muscles. A chiropractor gently manipulates the spine to relax these subluxations.<br /> <br /> Chiropractors supply two types of take care of migraine patients, straight chiropractic and mixed chiropractic. Straight chiropractic solely involves manipulation of the spine and spinal subluxations. Mixed chiropractic care combines ancient manipulation with different complementary techniques. The focus in mixed chiropractic is to reduce overall neck strain and tension.<br /> <br /> Researchers at Northwestern School of Chiropractic in Minnesota recently compared chiropractic care with drug therapies for migraines and chronic tension headaches. The study was printed within the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics. Two hundred eighteen headache patients were given either drug therapy or regular chiropractic care. Each teams reported a forty-50% reduction in headache pain at the end of the study. <br /> <br /> Follow ups four weeks after discontinuing all care showed only the chiropractic cluster still enjoying the pain reduction the treatment initiated. Solely 20-twenty five% of the drug therapy patients were still benefiting from their treatment at this follow up. - 32503</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div class='uawlinks'>Learn more about <a target='_blank' href='http://www.ultimatecharlottechiropractor.com/'>chiropractic and migraines</a>.
