Migraines Are More Than Just a Bad Headache

There is a significant difference between a migraine and headache pain. Although both can be extremely painful, a typical headache occurs when the blood vessels in your head constrict, while migraines occur when the blood vessels expand. A migraine is more than simply a really bad headache, they are debilitating and extremely difficult to get rid of. There are several types of migraines, ranging from a common migraine to migraines caused by a deviated septum. In order to ensure you receive the appropriate treatment for your migraines, it is important to visit a professional in Newport Beach, such as Dr. Tavoussi, that can create a treatment plan designed specifically for the type of migraine you are suffering from.

Acute or Chronic

Those in Newport Beach who experience an acute migraine can typically overcome them in a few hours by resting, drinking plenty of water, taking over-the-counter pain medications, and avoiding light and sound. Chronic migraines are frequent and long-lasting. An individual in Orange County who experiences chronic migraines should visit Dr. Tavoussi for a thorough examination. The doctor will ask about your medical history, possibly schedule an MRI and ask about any possible infections and conditions that may be related to your headaches, such as previous accidents that involved a head injury.

Different Types of Migraines

There are several different types of migraines, each of which is diagnosed based on the type of symptoms you experience. The two most common types of migraines are:

  • Migraine without aura, which is the most frequent type of migraine. The symptoms typically include pulsating headache pain that comes on without warning, the pain is typically only on one side of the head, blurred vision, confusion, nausea, sensitivity to light and fatigue. The attack typically lasts 4 to 72 hours.
  • Migraine with aura, which includes symptoms that appear from 10 to 60 minutes before the headache and typically last less than an hour. A migraine with aura includes visual disturbances and may include temporary loss of part or all of your vision. It may occur without headache pain and can happen at any time. Some less frequent symptoms may include numbness, muscle weakness, tingling sensations in hands or face, confusion and trouble speaking.
If you suffer from migraines, keeping a migraine and headache journal will be beneficial in helping Dr. Tavoussi determine the type of migraine you are suffering with as well as creating a plan for the best treatment. When creating a migraine journal, include information such as what time of day the migraine occurred, what you were doing at the time, foods and beverages consumed prior to the migraine, symptoms you experienced and how long the migraine lasted.
