What causes a migraine headache?
A migraine headache consists of a throbbing or pounding head pain
with sensitivity to bright lights, sounds and/or odors. Patients may
become nauseated, or even vomit. The pain can become debilitating
and interfere with a person’s ability to function. There are several factors
that may lead to the development of migraine headaches. Migraines can
be a hereditary condition, occur after a head trauma, concussion, or be
triggered by lifestyle choices such as diet. The development of a migraine
involves inflammatory changes around blood vessels as well as changes
in neurotransmitter activity. The changes in the brain that occur during a
migraine may also affect other body functions such as sleep and mood,
leading to symptoms of anxiety, depression or insomnia.
When headaches are
impacting a person’s
ability to perform activities
of daily living, patients
should seek treatment from
a physician. My goal is to
develop an effective
treatment plan for patients
so that headaches are not
preventing them from
missing out on their lives.
