Symptoms and consequences of migraine and migraine stroke

1 Etiology of the disease

Migraine is a serious disease that often has a chronic form. The main indicators of migraine are frequent headaches, which are usually concentrated in one part of the head.

It should be understood that migraine attacks can not cause the development of other complex diseases. Nevertheless, this complex neurological disorder has very unpleasant consequences, which carry extremely difficult complications. These are consequences such as migraine stroke and migraine status.

Migraine status is a recurring painful sensation of a severe nature. This is not necessarily a whole chain of seizures - there may be a full-fledged pain syndrome that will last for several days. Pain, which was previously concentrated in one part, gradually begins to spread throughout the head. In this case, a person suffering from migraine attacks often feels nauseated and dizzy. Often, such attacks of migraine lead to the appearance of seizures, which is fraught with urgent hospitalization.

One of the most serious forms of this disease is a migraine stroke, the consequences of which are also extremely negative.

It occurs in the presence of neurological symptoms, which are completely uncharacteristic for patients suffering from migraine attacks. It should be understood that such symptoms can both suddenly appear and disappear. Painkillers in this case will not always be effective and, perhaps, can not help at least reduce the headache a little.

The fact that you really have a migraine stroke, you can judge by the following criteria:

1. The presence of a classic form of migraine.
2. Attacks by nature are the same as with the usual form of migraine.
3. Symptoms of atrial fibrillation are present.
4. The changes in the tomography of the brain are revealed.

2 Therapeutic measures

As for the ways of treating this complex disease, there are not so many of them. Completely get rid of the headache will not work, because it is associated with a violation of the vascular tone. In this case, you can use some methods that slightly reduce pain.

In order to mitigate the manifestations of seizures as effectively as possible, you can use such medications:

1. Triptans.
2. Analgesics.
3. Serotonin agonists.
4. Antidepressants.
5. Calcium channel blockers.
6. Anticonvulsants.

Naturally, these preparations should not be taken in its pure form. They should be used together with vitamins, magnesium preparations and herbs. Sometimes you can cope with seizures using ordinary tablets against a headache, but this is possible only when the first manifestations are already observed. It should be remembered that in no case should you abuse drugs containing caffeine. Excessive use of such medications leads to the fact that the brain remembers their effect and in order to get an additional stimulating dose, simply repeats the pain syndrome.
