How to relieve migraine headaches

Can you imagine? A 1.85-meter-tall man cried and told me that he was in so much pain because he often suffered from migraines. He said that when they attacked, he felt worse than death, as if there were several nails piercing his head. He had a headache, nausea, and vomited violently. He felt that the whole world was dark. Don't think this is an exaggeration. This is the daily life of many migraine patients.

According to statistics from the World Health Organization, there are approximately 1.3 billion migraine sufferers worldwide with mild or severe symptoms. You can imagine how many people are suffering from it. As a neurologist, I think I should make a video to share with you how to relieve migraines.

First, you can use cold compress, which is to wrap an ice bag or ice cubes with a towel, and then apply it to the temple or the place where the headache occurs, so as to lower the local temperature and achieve the purpose of relieving the headache.

Second, you can also use hot compresses, such as applying a hot towel or hand warmer directly to the painful area. The purpose is to accelerate local blood flow and take away pain-causing substances to remind everyone to be careful not to get burned.

Third, medication. I think many people will say that medication is useless, but it is very likely that you are not taking the right medicine. First, let's talk about non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen and redemption points. Both are commonly used migraine drugs, but at the same time, many people say that they are ineffective because both are mainly oral preparations. However, many friends do not frequently nausea and vomiting during migraine attacks, which often causes poor absorption of drugs, and therefore, poor effects of oral medications.

In addition, there are expectorant analgesics, which are often used as special effects during migraine attacks in clinical practice, because they can selectively excite the brain, and the 1B1D receptors of Wuqiang Se An almost terminate the migraine attack from the source. In addition, it is divided into two preparations: oral and nasal spray. If you have obvious nausea symptoms, you can choose triptan nasal sprays, such as zolmitriptan nasal spray, which does not need to be absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract, can pass through the blood-brain barrier, and take effect faster. It often takes effect in about ten minutes, and a considerable number of people can relieve headaches, extreme nausea, vomiting, hygiene, photophobia and other accompanying symptoms in about 30 minutes.

Finally, I would like to remind everyone that the so-called migraine must be diagnosed by a professional neurologist in a regular hospital, and medication must be used under the guidance of a professional doctor. Only in this way can we avoid side effects as much as possible while ensuring the efficacy.
