Now a days, everyone is going through stress and it becomes the problem of headaches. So if you are suffering from headaches or migraine headaches then this post is for you.
The document discusses the different types of migraines including abdominal, cephalic, basilar-type, and menstrual migraines. It defines migraines as a genetic neurological disorder characterized by painful headache attacks that are different from regular headaches. Migraines are caused by hyperactivity in parts of the brain and can be triggered by different factors for different people. Doctors diagnose migraines based on a combination of symptoms after ruling out other conditions, and the two main types are migraines with aura and without aura. Migraine attacks typically last 4-72 hours but symptoms may persist longer.
Migraine is a common type of headache characterized by unilateral and pulsating severe headache lasting 4-72 hours. It is derived from the Greek word "hemikranios" meaning half of the head. Migraines are caused by various triggers like allergies, lights, noises, stress, sleep changes, smoking, and skipping meals. The primary theory is that migraines are related to increased excitability of the cerebral cortex and abnormal control of pain neurons in the trigeminal nucleus of the brainstem. During a migraine attack, there is dilatation of scalp arteries and reduced regional blood flow in the cortex. The neurobiology and pathophysiology of migraines is complex with involvement of multiple
Migraine is a severe headache that causes throbbing pain, nausea, vomiting, and extreme sensitivity to light and sound. It typically affects one side of the head and can last for hours or days. Some people experience aura, sensory disturbances such as flashes of light, before the headache starts. Migraine often begins in childhood or early adulthood and involves four stages - prodrome, aura, attack, and postdrome - though not everyone experiences all stages. Triggers can include hormonal changes, foods, stress, sensory stimuli, sleep patterns, and medications. Treatment involves both pain relievers during attacks and preventive medications taken daily. Self-care like stress reduction, avoiding triggers, and getting enough sleep can also help

Insomnia is a condition where an individual has trouble falling asleep or staying asleep. There are two main types - primary insomnia which is not caused by another condition, and secondary insomnia which is caused by an underlying medical, physical, or psychological condition. Common causes of secondary insomnia include illnesses, pain, anxiety, depression, certain medications, caffeine, alcohol, and sleep disorders. Insomnia can be diagnosed through a medical history, physical exam, and potentially a sleep study. Treatment options include lifestyle changes, cognitive behavioral therapy, and medication to establish a regular sleep schedule. Insomnia is a common problem that can negatively impact daytime functioning if left untreated.
Migraine is a common type of primary headache in children. It can significantly impact a child's life by decreasing school performance and causing social withdrawal. Migraine prevalence increases with age and is more common in females during adolescence. Migraines are classified into different types based on the presence of aura. Common childhood periodic syndromes like cyclic vomiting and abdominal migraine are often precursors to migraine. Treatment involves acute, preventive and behavioral strategies. Acute treatments include NSAIDs and triptans. Preventive medications include calcium channel blockers, antiepileptics and antidepressants. Biobehavioral therapy focuses on lifestyle modification. A thorough history and exam are important to rule out secondary causes and neuroimaging may be needed
1. The document discusses sleep, sleep disorders like sleep apnea, and how sleep changes with age. It covers the definition of sleep, sleep stages, consequences of sleep deprivation, and prevalence of sleep disorders.
2. Treatment options for sleep apnea are discussed, including CPAP, oral appliances, and surgery. Diagnosis involves a sleep study.
3. Sleep changes as people age, with less deep sleep and more nighttime awakenings. Medical conditions can also affect older adults' sleep. Seeking help from a sleep specialist is recommended for persistent sleep issues.
Migraine is a common type of headache characterized by severe throbbing pain, nausea, and sensitivity to light and sound. It is believed to be caused by swelling of blood vessels in the brain and is more common in women. Symptoms include headaches lasting 4-12 hours that may be preceded by visual disturbances. Treatment involves managing triggers to prevent headaches and using over-the-counter or prescription medications to stop headaches once they start or reduce their frequency. While migraines often continue for many years, symptoms typically lessen for most people after age 50-60.
A remarkable 70% of people suffer from headaches. Tension headaches account for about 90% of these with a typical constrictive sensation, soreness and painful knots in tense neck and scalp muscles. Migraine and cluster headaches occur in about 10% of the population, affecting women three times more than men.
There are many possible causes of headaches including eyestrain, hormonal imbalance, nutritional deficiencies, toxicity, sleep loss, digestive disturbances and emotional stress such as grief, worry and anger. Many migraines also involve food allergies and chemical sensitivities.
Insomnia is not a disease but a sleep disorder symptom. There are two types: primary insomnia lasts for days or weeks, while secondary insomnia lasts for a month or longer. Over 50% of Malaysians and motor vehicle accidents are sleep-related. Stress, traumatic events, caffeine, alcohol, and medication misuse can cause insomnia. Older adults are more at risk. Symptoms include waking frequently at night, waking too early, and feeling tired after sleeping. Lifestyle changes like exercise, relaxation techniques, and avoiding screens before bed can help treat insomnia. Seeking medical help may also be necessary. Insomnia can negatively impact quality of life, so better sleep is important.
The document discusses different types of headaches, their causes and treatments. It describes tension headaches as caused by stress or fatigue and treated with over-the-counter painkillers. Migraines are more severe and involve light/sound sensitivity, nausea and last longer, treated with NSAIDs, paracetamol or prescription medications. Hangover headaches result from dehydration after alcohol and eye strain headaches from too much screen time. Sinus headaches occur with sinus issues. Viral headaches accompany infections while cluster headaches are severe, one-sided headaches that often occur at night.
Headaches can be caused by stress, diet, muscle tension, eye strain, viruses, sinus issues, hypertension, migraines, clusters, tensions, post-trauma and other medical problems. Headaches are classified as primary (tension, cluster) or secondary (due to other issues). Location of pain can indicate type - tension headaches span back to front, migraines affect one side, cluster behind the eye, etc. An optometric exam evaluates headache history, vision, binocular function and other factors to determine if eye issues are contributing and if refractive correction is needed.
1. Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures from abnormal neuronal activity in the brain. Common symptoms include involuntary muscle contractions and shaking. Treatment was historically based on nervous system depressants, but now focuses on newer antiepileptic drugs.
2. Alzheimer's disease causes memory loss and cognitive impairment. Early symptoms are subtle memory loss worsening over time. Currently there is no cure, but medications can help control symptoms.
3. Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative process affecting motor pathways in the brain. Symptoms include tremors and impaired movement. Treatment focuses on medications to manage symptoms.
Insomnia is a sleep disorder characterized by difficulty falling or staying asleep. There are different types of insomnia including acute, chronic, comorbid, onset, and maintenance insomnia. Insomnia can be caused by stress, poor sleep habits, lifestyle factors, mental health conditions, physical health conditions, and certain medications. Effects of insomnia include lower performance, higher risk of accidents, psychiatric problems, health issues, and substance abuse. Treatment may include improving sleep habits and lifestyle changes for mild insomnia or prescription sleeping pills for more severe insomnia.
Insomnia is defined as difficulty initiating or maintaining sleep, or both, despite adequate opportunity and time to sleep, leading to impaired daytime functioning. There are two types of insomnia: primary insomnia not associated with any other condition, and secondary insomnia caused by another condition like depression. Insomnia can be acute (lasting 1-3 weeks) or chronic (lasting over a month at least 3 times a week). Chronic insomnia is treated with relaxation techniques, sleep restriction therapy, and medication, while acute insomnia may not require treatment. Good sleep habits like regular sleep schedules and avoiding stimulants before bed can help treat insomnia.

Responding to minor ailments - headache, food and drug allergy.pptxAmeena Kadar
Headaches are a common neurological symptom that can be caused by many disorders. The document discusses the main types of primary and secondary headaches, including their characteristics, triggers, and treatment approaches. Tension-type headaches are the most common type and cause mild-to-moderate pain, while migraines cause severe throbbing pain and other symptoms. Cluster headaches are very severe and tend to occur in patterns. Treatment involves managing triggers, medications like analgesics for relief of acute symptoms, and preventive medications for reducing frequency and severity of headaches. Food allergies involve an immune response to food proteins, while sensitivities are non-immune responses.
A 35-year-old female patient has been experiencing recurrent severe headaches over the last 4 months, with unilateral pulsating pain lasting over 6 hours accompanied by nausea and sometimes vomiting. She prefers sitting in a dark room during attacks and is unable to be active. Migraine should be suspected in patients presenting with recurrent headaches that are unilateral, pulsating, long-lasting and inhibit daily activities, especially in women aged 20-50. Migraine is characterized by moderate to severe throbbing headache on one side of the head and can present with aura, nausea, photophobia, phonophobia, or other neurological symptoms. Treatment involves managing acute attacks and considering prophylaxis for frequent episodes.
The document discusses headaches, including their prevalence, causes, types, symptoms, and treatment options. It notes that headaches are very common and responsible for millions of doctor visits each year. Headaches can range from mild to debilitating and can be triggered by factors like diet, hormones, medications, and lifestyle. The document outlines the characteristics and differences between primary headache types like migraines, tension headaches, and cluster headaches. It emphasizes the role of nutrition in headache treatment and prevention, including avoiding triggers like caffeine, alcohol, MSG, and discussing supplements like magnesium, CoQ10, and herbal remedies.
Insomnia is a sleep disorder where an individual has trouble falling or staying asleep. It can be acute (lasting 1 night to a few weeks) or chronic (occurring at least 3 nights a week for 3 months or more). Insomnia can be primary, with no linked medical condition, or secondary, caused by a health issue. Risk factors include stress, medications, medical conditions, and poor sleep habits. Symptoms include daytime sleepiness, fatigue, and problems concentrating. Treatment involves managing underlying causes, improving sleep habits, and potentially medication or cognitive behavioral therapy.
This document provides information about managing migraines, including what causes them, common triggers, and strategies for prevention and treatment. It begins by defining migraines and explaining that they are severe headaches that often have accompanying symptoms like nausea and sensitivity to light and sound. It then discusses common migraine triggers such as stress, hormonal changes, certain foods and medications, as well as environmental factors. The document provides tips for lifestyle changes to help manage migraines and prevent attacks, such as getting sufficient sleep, eating regularly, and avoiding known triggers. It also discusses medication options for both preventative treatment and pain relief during attacks.
Migraines are caused by abnormal brain activity and involve intense headache pain, though the exact triggers are unclear. A migraine involves four stages - a prodrome phase with subtle symptoms 1-2 days before, an aura phase with sensory disturbances right before, the attack with severe headache pain and other symptoms, and a postdrome hangover phase after. While there is no single test to diagnose migraines, keeping a symptom journal and ruling out other causes with medical tests can help doctors make a diagnosis. Treatment involves preventative daily medications and acute pain relievers during attacks, though overuse can cause rebound headaches. Common triggers include hormonal changes, foods, smells, lights and stress. Managing triggers and lifestyle factors
Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition characterized by widespread muscle pain, fatigue, and tender points. It is more common in women. While the cause is unknown, it is thought to involve increased sensitivity in the brain to pain signals. Symptoms vary but include muscle pain, fatigue, sleep issues, headaches, and numbness. There is no lab test to diagnose it, but diagnosis involves a history of widespread pain for over 3 months and tender points in specific areas. Treatments focus on reducing pain and improving sleep and function through medications and lifestyle changes.
