migraine is any headche with various symptoms? wrong

cervical headaches (90% of all headaches) has literally hundreds of symptoms.

Well, this is a very timely upload. I'm in the postdrome stage of what I'm quite sure was a migraine that started on Sunday last week. I never get any aura. I'm still fairly dizzy (unsteady on my feet at times) and my concentration, which was already mediocre from the cumulative effect of two head injuries (the most recent 22 years ago), is also currently poor. My already low tolerance for noise and light (also head injury related) is worse than normal, my vision is a little blurred, and I'm very fatigued despite basically just sleeping with earplugs in for 18-20 hours a day.
I used to get them reasonably regularly, a couple of times a year, for up to a week but this is the first one for probably 18 months. I've always treated them with ibuprofen but with my almost total loss of appetite it was difficult to take much. You've confirmed my experience with paracetamol always seeming to have no effect and, as an asthmatic, I avoid aspirin. But I actually avoided my usual 2 coffees per day thinking it would be more harmful than helpful, so thanks for that interesting new information.
I have spoken to my GP on one or two occasions about these migraines but he seemed unconcerned due to their relatively low frequency, however I'm due to see him for my normal seasonal allergy medications now, so I will raise the issue again and ask about the 'triptans.

Dear Dr. What about hormonal migraines around the period each month? they can last up to 3 days .

Hi, what is the usual dose of dexamethasone used for severe migraine attacks?how many times it can be repeated ?

[dr.vigneshkumarphdphysioth]

Good & detailed explanation about migraine ...dr andrea and management am a chronic headache sufferer ...diagnosed as vascular headache ....and as migraine .. same typical symptoms ..mostly once in 15 days ...paracetomol is my option ..due to sideeffects of medications and M.O.H we suppose to know preventive medications instead of nsaids opiods ...so already your past video about conenzyme q ...and vit b2 its option and meditation plays a key role .yes absolutely exercises like aerobics which enhances endorphins reduces and prevents frequency atleast .and 2 causes of migraine ....is right said ..excellent video madam ...
