Q: what really causes migraine, and who is prone to such illness?
i’ve been suffering migraine for 10 years,i’m 32 now, i cant still find a clue what really causes this illness and why or how!
A: There is no known DEFINITE cause because people who have the history have so many variations. Mine have calmed now–I was diagnosed with the problem 2-28-95, thanks to 100mg. Atenolol (my beta blocker) and 10 mg. Reglan (when I have a migraine). Mean little “beasts,” aren’t they? People with the problem have inherited “the guest.” It is caused, many scientists believe, by an imbalance, at the time of the problem, in Seratonin, a necessary pain-reliever in the brain. When the imbalance happens, the person feels the pain. There can be many “trigger” factors, though these aren’t a “catch-all” for everyone: stress, coffee, light, noise (especially loud), msg (added to many restuarant food for preservation), peanut oil, etc. Sometimes, they can happen and you have to go back through the events of the day to POSSIBLY find the “trigger.” Sometimes you can’t. When you get them under control, have faith that you will, don’t stop taking your beta blocker. FYI: Make sure your doc has you on a beta blocker. Talk to them. Sometimes, doctors forget to do that, and the patient really suffers. Tell them what you found out, if you’re not taking one with your migraine medication. I KNOW because my diagnosing doctor forgot to do that! EEEK! They will confirm what I’m telling you.
Q: What is it when a migraine causes pain in the jaw and numbness in the fingers and toes?
My mother has had a migraine for a week now and yesterday it had given her pain in the right side of her jaw and today her fingers and toes have become numb.
A: I would say it is something other than a migraine.
Q: what are the symptons of Migraine disease and what are causes for that ?
I am suffering from Migraine disease and its continued for long time ? Is it due to mental tension ?I have had a big turn around in my life some years back and from then, there is total different world and I have changed completely. I was very happy person in the world but after the incident which caused me lot of disappointment and embarrasement in my life.since then i am not mentally pleased …and that incident cannot be cleared at any stage of my life as it is gone …..Is it causing Migraine to me ?
A: That, only a doctor can tell. If you want it to go try foot reflexology. I suffered from Migraine for long time before i found out about that technique.
Q: what causes a migraine that doesnt go away when medicated?

Now i have a migraine not caused by food reaction and does not go away with drugs.My father has diabetes could i have diabetes? If so could that cause my migraines? but this is the first time i was never able to stop the pain. please keep the answer short my moniter is killing me
A: Don’t discount your monitor as the problem, especially if you spend a lot of time looking at it. Aside from classic migraine triggers (food, allergens, etc.) ergonomic stress and improper refresh rate setting on your monitor’s GPU can cause migraines and nausea as well.
First consider your monitor in relation to your eye level – if you have to move your head up or down to view it properly, then it’s in the wrong position. You should be able to view it properly by only having to move your eyes up or down, not your head. Many people don’t even realize they’re bending their head up or down because they’re focused on what they’re working on, but it puts pressure on the neck muscles, and that in turn triggers the headache. Don’t forget about your chair either – you could be sitting too low, or if the chair is at a steady height and can’t be raised or lowered, then you need to adjust the monitor height.
Refresh Rate – This is something I run into often with clients that isn’t well known. Computer graphics cards are set for a Refresh Rate of either 59hz or 60hz, and in the West it should be set to 60hz to match the electrical grid frequency rate. However, quite often a GPU will be set to 59hz; not everyone is sensitive, but if you are, nausea, dizziness, migraines, and general “crawl into a black hole and die” feelings are very common. To check, right click on your desktop and select your GPU’s control panel (e.g., NVIDIA Control Panel). The Refresh Rate is usually in the Resolution area.
Don’t forget that not just food can trigger a migraine; anything you may be allergic to can trigger one. Think about if you’ve started using a new product recently (cosmetics, lotions, prescriptions, new OTC meds, etc.) and try and correlate it with your headaches.
Q: What causes migraine , fever , black mucus stool and light head ?
When ever my body get warm I get a migraine and light headed. My stool black with mucus in it , I get frequent UTI and a fever. I’m always thirsty and nausea mostly in the late nite early morning.
A: A. go to webmd symptom checker that is a great place. B.GO TO THE DR. 1. fever indicates infection,2. black stool indicates always see your Dr.,3. question about getting warm..do you get warm 1st then the other symptoms-or does it come after or as the other symptoms arise? as always take all your meds with you, list all your symptoms on paper so not to forget anything. don’t eat or drink before you go just in case he wants blood work.

Q: What exactly causes this killer migraine days before my period?
I get a migraine 2 days before my period every month. Nothing helps it. Not laying down, different medicines, taking a shower, eating, etc.
What is it that causes it? Can going on birth control help this?
A: i think you are a high blood. try to go to doctor and tell that you have always migrain.
Q: What is the best way to get rid of a headache or migraine and what causes them?
I have been having headaches/migraines all my life. I am frankly tired of them!!! I know it could be a chemical in food or an actually type of food that causes the haedache. I just want them to leave me alone. Now that I have a child I can no longer lay down when my head starts to hammer. I just need some help.

Q: What causes the Migraine Aura itself?
I sometimes have an aura before the pain begins. The appearance of it varies. Sometimes flashing lights, sometimes looks like a shimmer or waterfall that is hard to see through.
I experienced one this morning that was annoyingly large and long lasting. Could see it even with my eyes closed. No other symptoms.
I took 2 aspirin and went back to sleep, woke up fine. Currently take a beta blocker to prevent migraine, but have had a lot of family stress lately.
What causes this personal light show in my head??
A: Although the cause of a migraine is not fully understood, most sufferers probably have a genetic predisposition to them. About 80 percent of people who have migraine headaches have a family history of migraines.
It used to be thought that the aura and then headaches in migraines were caused by blood vessels at first contracting and then expanding (dilating) in the brain. However, recent research suggests that migraine symptoms are caused by changes in the activity of neurones (nerve cells in the brain), and that changes in blood vessels happen as a result of this. A chemical messenger in the brain – serotonin – is also thought to be involved in migraine.

Q: What are the triggering factors that causes migraine headache?
A: Some typical triggers are strong smells, nuts, chocolate, spicy foods, changes in weather, and altered sleeping patterns. However, some people with chronic daily migraines have no triggers but rather their brains are simply somewhat wired at all times.
Q: Drinking red wine causes migraine headaches for me. Will drinking concord grape juice cause migraines?
Doctors are advising adding 1 glass of red wine or concord grape juice a day for health benefits. I can’t drink the red wine and am hoping I can drink the grape juice.
A: I’ve had severe migraines for years, and one of the only “food” items i could narrow it down to was red wine! It’s almost an immediate migraine after drinking it. I mentioned it to my doctor and he said for sure, the red wine is a culprit!! Evidently, red wine is fermented a different way than white wine or rose`. Sure enough, other wines don’t affect me the same way. The grape juice shouldn’t bother you, since it’s not fermented.
By the way, a glass of white or rose` is just as benificial. ( one glass, not a night of drinking! 
Q: What causes a Migraine Headache Hangover?
If you’ve ever had a migraine headache like those that I suffer from occationally than you’ll understand why I call them “Migraine Hangovers”. What I can’t figure out is why after two days the intense pain reappears when I cough or sneeze?
A: First you should check eyes and take treatment for eyes if problem.
There is no medicine for H/A OR MIGRAINE. Not only these but for almost all painful diseases like RA, Back ache, earache etc. Hence they become chronic.
Acidity, WORRY, sadness, excessive wind, cold , heat, sour food and cough & sinusitis, constipation, intestinal inflammation; drug side effects, stress, bad smell, TV & COMPUTER SOMETIMES,
Blockage in the flow of Vital Energy are their causes. None of them can be treated with medicine. Our 100% success in treating migraine &H/A confirms it.
Acupuncture is the best treatment.
I can treat it with naturopathy and YOG, but how can you manage pl see.
You should avoid sweet, fatty foods, milk and its’ products, fruits.
Roasted/steamed pulses, spices and hot food and warm water will minimise your cough.
When you cough or sneeze some pressure is created in sinus and ifnlamed nerves create pains due to it.
Pain killers don’t treat the pain but we loose the sense of pain for some time; in that duration our body itself treats sometime and credit goes to meds.
These useless drugs have enormous power to create hazardous side effects like liver/kidney failure, ulcer, acidity and lot others.
But you try one herbal remedy- two drops of drumstick leaves’ juice in opposite nostril if one side pains and both nostrils if full H/A will give you rescue. Betel leaf helps but it is very strong.
Pl search a painful point 3-6 mm behind your thumb nail and press it, H/A will disappear within 30 seconds!

Q: What causes chronic migraine with the feeling of nausea?
I’ve been depressed for sometime. I don’t think thats what’s doing this. It gets worse as I move. I hardly get headaches so this is pretty new. I felt this fuzz and numbness in my head when I was half asleep. This hasn’t happened since few years back. I tried to look it up on pub med. I was also light headed at work..but that was ok after i ate something.
A: Millions of things can cause it, and they can look for years and never figure out whats wrong with you migraines are just one of those things. I know because I get them fairly often and than that causes nausea.some common causes of migraines: Caffeine headaches,(like if you usually drink a lot of caffeine and now your not, your body will go through with drawl, or sometimes if you drink too much caffeine,Lack of eating,lack of sleep, drinking alcohol/(sometimes)and or dehydration, being in the sun for too long, being on your feet for too long, stress, and lots of other reasons including medical and chemical imbalances, and things you cant control. So just make sure first off that you are getting plenty of rest, youre not starving yourself make sure you eat this is like one of the biggest causes., and caffeine with drawl. If you do get a migraine the best thing is to sleep it off, but you cant always do that so the best medicines are Migralex, it works great , Stronger drugstore aspirins sometimes work like excederin migraine or tylenol extra strength. ‘Head on’ is this medicine you rub on your forehead and for some reason it works like a miracle and takes the pain away, you can buy it at the drug store or grocery store it cost about $8 a tube. I would reccomend that number 1.
Q: What is the difference between a regular head ache and a migraine and what causes a migraine?
I have been having, on a regular basis, what I think are head aches. I will take tylenal, advil, aleve, whatever but it seems to not work. Sometimes it feels like it just lingers…..It’s one of those that is not unbearable but you know its there and every now and then you massage your own head.
A: I found some good info here.
Q: what causes migraine; best cures and preventions?
I’m always trying different things and nothing really helps keep them at bay. Anyone have any advice?
A: Some possible triggers are:
- Foods containing MSG
- Too much/too little sleep
- Too much caffine
- Anything that is too loud
- Stress
- Bright lights
Advil liquid gels and a gravol does the trick for me, but migraines are very varied depending on the person and the symptoms, so I think it would be in your best interest to go see what a doctor could do for you. Check with your doctor before you do anything different.
Hope you feel better soon!
Q: What causes a headache or a migraine?
I’ve only ever had four or five migraines in my life – (not just headaches), and lost the best part of today in bed wanting to die to make it stop. The whole nine yards – distress, vomitting etc.
But what causes the pain in your head? The brain is devoid of pain receptors so it’s not actual ‘brain pain’ – what IS it?
A: Well im pretty sure its when the blood vessels in your brain swell. It can be caused by many things like, stress, an uncomfotable position, or an allergy of some kind.
