Migraine and headaches

A lot of us suffer from headaches on a more or less regular basis. And yes, women are more often concerned than men. What is the reason ? Hormones, of course, but not only.

Let’s start from the beginning. Headache or cephalalgia ? It is the same thing, cephalgia is simply the scientific name for headache. Most often without any consequences, they go away quickly and do not interfere or just a little, with our daily lives. When headaches become chronic, we then speak about tension headaches, which can last from a few hours to several days and really affect everyday life.

There are many things that can cause a headache and they are not always identified. Among the most common ; stress, fatigue, muscular tension, poor sleep, eating too much or too much alcohol, overuse of medication… A healthy lifestyle and a daily energy rebalancing session will help you get rid of it. Much less common, migraine is a primitive headache that occurs in seizures whose frequency varies greatly from one person to another and lasts from 4 to 72 hours. It is characterised by a headache that gradually sets a “pulsatile” pain, as if the heart was beating in the skull.

Physical activity can accentuate the pain and usually only one side of the skull is painful. Seizures can sometimes be accompanied by nausea or even vomiting, discomfort from light and noise. Migraines are usually treated with painkillers and vasoconstrictors.
