Those who are familiar with headache are well aware that it is a terrible condition that often takes you out of the normal rhythm of life. And what to say when it's not just a headache? We've put together a set of guidelines for you to help you with migraine pain relief.
Migraine symptoms
You can understand that you have a migraine by the following signs:
• You cannot tolerate light.
• You have a headache from loud noises.
• You've lost your appetite and you don't react well to odors.
• Nausea has begun and you have the urge to vomit.
• Pain is concentrated on one side of the head.
• A shoulder or neck begins to ache with the head.
Migraine symptoms and treatment
If you feel that you are about to start a migraine attack, then try the following recommendations:
• Drink a small cup of freeze-dried or whole-bean coffee, or take a contrast shower to allow your vessels to dilate and relieve some pain.
• Take sedatives and lie down. If possible, try to sleep.
• Give yourself a foot massage, paying special attention to points on your toes. It also helps in the treatment of migraines.
• Take analgesics, but keep in mind that this only makes sense until the pulsation begins in the temples.
• Try to isolate yourself from all irritants in the form of bright light, sounds, odors. You can insert earplugs or wear an eye mask.
• Take a bath with hot water and submerge periodically with your head under the water. Keep in mind, however, that such hot baths can be dangerous for heart problems.
• Rub menthol ointment into the whiskey and tie a handkerchief or bandage over your head.
• Immerse your hands in very cold water, even with pieces of ice. Keep the brushes there until the water is at room temperature.
How to relieve very severe migraines
If the attack is very strong, then use triptans, these are powerful medicines that quickly cope with head migraines.
The good thing about these drugs is that they are specifically designed to relieve migraines. But the most important thing about them is that triptans should be drunk in the first 30 minutes after the first signs appear.
In medicine, these 30 minutes are called the "migraine window". And if a person manages to drink triptans on time, then, as a rule, pain can be eliminated and all symptoms are eliminated.
