Rare Types Of Migraines.
Treating At Home With
Herbs.
Migraine is severely
painful headache, which is often preceded by warning signals - tingling hands
and feet, nausea, vomiting, white spots and increased sensitivity to light and
sound. This heavy and piercing headache can last for hours and sometimes -
days.
Migraine is a result of
dilation of blood vessels and release of chemicals from nerve fibers. When you
have a headache, artery, which is located on the external side of the skull,
expands and you feel pain and inflammation. In this situation, the sympathetic
nervous system responds by nausea, diarrhea and vomiting. This leads to reduced blood circulation
(cold hands and feet) and increased sensitivity to sound and light.

cause of this disease is not yet known. It is believed that some biochemical reactions

Migraine phases
Migraine attack can be
divided into four phases:
1.Warning phase - it happens to half of people, suffering from
migraine. You may feel irritable, depressed, tired, experiencing hunger. You
may experience these feelings for hours, even days, before the headache.
2.
Aura phase – it can include changes in vision: a flickering, jagged arc of light, "see" pics from the past or hallucinations, skin sensations, language problems,

Rare types of migraines:
1.Menstrual migraine.
The symptoms of
this kind of migraine were similar to normal, but migraine attacks are
associated with the menstrual cycle. There are 2 such types:
a/pure menstrual migraine (only during the cycle)
b/migraine related to the menstrual cycle (appears around the menstrual cycle, but can
also occur on other days of the month). Treatment for these two types is the
same as for any other type of migraine.
2.Stomach migraine
It occurs most
often among children. Instead of headache, they feel abdominal pain which lasts
for several hours. During each attack, the headache is weak, or missing. It can
be observed nausea, retching or other symptoms. An interesting fact is that
children who have suffered from abdominal migraine, during teenage years, develop
common migraine.
3. Ocular migraines (also known as a retinal
migraine).
It causes temporary
vision loss of part or whole eye. It can be supported with or without headache.
Each attack happens at the same eye. During this migraine are not observed any
serious problems with the eyes, and vision returns to normal.
Attention! If you get a sudden loss of vision, see a
doctor immediately! There are various reasons for this and they must be
excluded before the ocular migraine can be diagnosed.
4.Hemiplegic migraine (very rare).
Besides severe
headache, symptoms include temporary paralysis of the body and weakness. This
may take several hours or even days before fade. That’s why this kind of attack can be mistaken with
stroke. Also can appear and other symptoms - dizziness, double vision, visual
problems, hearing problems and difficulty speaking. Important! You have these
symptoms, visit a doctor immediately, you may have symptoms of a stroke!

Basilar artery
is located in the back of the head, and this makes us think, that this type of
migraine has occurred because of a problem with the basilar artery. And the
exact causes are not known, yet. Symptoms include headache at the back of the
head, double vision, dizziness, tinnitus, slurred speech and others. Caution - in
