How to do preventive treatment for migraine

  I. Migraine concomitant symptoms Nausea is the most common concomitant symptom, reaching more than half, and it is often moderate or severe. Nausea may precede the onset of headache, or it may occur during or after the onset of headache. Vomiting occurs in nearly half of patients, and some patients experience significant relief from the attack after vomiting.  Many patients may also experience blurred vision, photophobia, phonophobia, and other autonomic dysfunction, such as frequent urination, dysuria, nasal congestion, panic attacks, hypertension, hypotension, and even cardiac arrhythmias. If the attack involves the brainstem or cerebellum, vertigo ataxia, diplopia, hearing loss, tinnitus, and impaired consciousness may occur. Drowsiness and drowsiness may occur after the headache is relieved. Some may feel exhaustion, hunger or anorexia, polyuria, scalp pressure, and muscle pain. Mental and psychological changes, such as irritability, irritability, depression, less speech and less movement, may also occur.  Preventive treatment of migraine There is no special treatment method that can make migraine never come back. However, it has been proved that the most effective treatment for migraine patients is preventive treatment during the interval of migraine, in addition to psychological adjustment and diet.  1.Less 3C foods Cheese, chocolate, citrous fruit, marinated sardines, chicken liver, tomatoes, milk and lactic acid drinks are rich in tyramine. And tyramine is the main cause of vascular spasm, so if you have a history of migraine, then it is best to stay away from these foods.  2, beware of sausages, hot dogs Sausages, hot dogs, ham, bacon and other cured and smoked meats, processed meats and other foods containing nitrites, as well as foods containing MSG can cause you migraines, and it is best to eat as little as possible in your daily life.  3. Be wary of sugar substitutes Research has found that sugar substitutes “aspartame” (Aspartame) can over-stimulate or interfere with nerve endings, increasing muscle tension, and trigger migraines. Low-sugar colas, low-sugar sodas, sugar-free chewing gum, ice cream, multivitamins and many prescription drugs all contain aspartame. So people who are allergic to sugar substitutes can trigger headaches with a small sip of low-sugar soda.  4, careful use of painkillers, cold syrup Painkillers can be a tempting trap. Many people take painkillers privately in an attempt to relieve pain, but overdosing on painkillers will not only fail to relieve pain, but will instead cause drug-induced “rebound headaches” and leave you with chronic migraines. If you eat more than 2 or 3 times a week painkillers to relieve pain, please immediately to the doctor!  5, supplemental magnesium magnesium can regulate blood flow, muscle relaxation. For some people, even if only a little magnesium deficiency, can trigger a headache. The United States National Headache Foundation recommends that the best daily supplementation of 500 to 750 mg of magnesium. Magnesium supplements can have the side effect of diarrhea, so it is best to take them as prescribed after consulting your doctor. Or on a regular basis to eat more food with high magnesium to supplement, for example: whole grain food, nut seeds (such as sunflower seeds, almonds, cashews, hazelnuts, etc.), cauliflower, tofu, etc.  6, supplemental vitamin B2 research found that oral high dose of vitamin B2, can reduce the frequency and duration of migraine attacks, but the dose should not exceed 400 mg a day.  7.Drink less coffee Caffeine can stimulate the nervous system and disturb sleep, and it is easy to get addicted when drinking more, while it can trigger migraine when quitting coffee. Therefore, it is best to consume less than 100 mg of coffee in a day (about a cup of strong coffee).  8, drink less red wine All alcoholic beverages can trigger headaches, especially red wine contains more headache-inducing chemicals. If you really want to drink a couple of glasses, it is best to choose vodka, white wine such as colorless wine.  9. Learn to reduce stress If you often have migraines due to work stress, you may want to take a warm bath often or try some muscle relaxation techniques, such as abdominal breathing techniques: inhale slowly, so that the abdomen is fully outwardly bulging, and when exhaling, feel the abdomen gradually flattened inside.  10. Regular exercise For people with migraines, exercises that focus on breathing training and breath regulation (such as yoga and qigong) can help patients stabilize their autonomic nervous system and reduce symptoms such as anxiety and muscle tightness.
