Migraine headaches usually occurs when serotinin, a brain chemical, which when released into the blood, leads to further chemical and blood vessel changes in the brain. Nausea, vomiting, fatigue, depression, lethargy, photosensitivity, aura, visual disturbances, and sometimes sensitivity to smell are some of the known symptoms of this disorder. Migraine headaches are itself very intense and even a slight movement can worsen the situation.

Tips on Avoiding Migraines

Poor living habits are probably the greatest factor in bringing on migraine attacks. And while no blanket rules can be set down, the following will apply to a large number of migraine sufferers:
1.       Watch your eating habits. Eat regularly, moderately, and
avoid pressure and unpleasantness during meals.
2.   Schedule your time to avoid overloading yourself. Take
regular breaks during the day, if it helps you to relieve
work pressure.
3.   Get plenty of rest. Tired people are irritable people.
4.   Avoid sharp changes in your routines. For example, if you
lead a fast-paced life during the week, and get migraine on week-ends, plan your weekend schedule so you don't suffer from too great a let-down. Many patients complain of migraine attacks on week-ends, when they sleep late. Learn to look forward to your week-ends and to enjoy them.
5.      Don't take on more than you can do. This applies to your
regular work, your community activities—and even to
your household chores.
6.      Learn to ignore minor annoyances.
7.      Learn how to relax . . . and don't feel guilty when you
do.
8.      Live a balanced life—with adequate exercise, work, re-­
laxation, outside interests, etc.
9.  Don't bottle up your troubles—blow your top if necessary
to get things into perspective again.
