Migraine Types. Do you have One Of These Below?
Migraine types are the sub categories of migraine headaches. There are two main types of migraine headache, which are common migraine without aura,and classic migraine with aura.
Which one do you suffer with? My wife has the common migraine. There's a lot of pain in migraines, isn't there? There are several different types of migraines to plague you with though. We will let you know about the different migraine types, and their symptoms. You may be worried about something that happened,and one of these may explain it. But don't put off going to a Doctor to be checked out, and rule out anything serious. What are retinal migraines?
Retinal migraines are a subclass of optical migraines (eye).
You would experience a patch of vision loss in one eye surrounded by normal vision for less than one hour before vision returns to normal. Also a retinal migraine may be accompanied by a throbbing unilateral headache, nausea, or photophobia. An ophthalmic migraine, ocular migraine, and silent migraine are the same.
With these migraines
you have only visual symptoms without a headache at all.
Some of the most common of these migraine symptoms are flashes of light, blind spots, zigzagging patterns, and shimmering stars or spots.
The causes of these migraine are not known exactly, but in some people,
eating certain foods
such as shellfish, artificial sweeteners, nuts or chocolates can trigger migraines. But there are other potential causes of vision problems that include fatigue, overexposure to the outdoors, temporary, and reversible blurring of vision such as mine, my vision gets blurred when I'm in the sun a lot. Migraines may not be connected with these symptoms.
Basilar migraine is another of the migraine types. Basilar type migraine, which was basilar artery migraine (BAM), and basilar migraine,is an uncommon, and complicated migraine with symptoms caused by brain stem dysfunction. "This one is serious". If you have, serious episodes of BTM, it can lead to stroke, coma, and death. Don't use triptans, and other vasoconstrictors as abortive treatments for BTM. Abortive treatments for BTM address vasodilation, and restoration of normal blood flow to the vertebrobasilar territory, to restore normal brain stem function.

What are abdominal migraines? Abdominal migraine disorder is of unknown origin, that recurs, and mostly affects children.Sometimes to start with, it can be misdiagnosed if you have to take your child to an emergency room, as appendicitis. They could have nausea, vomiting, and moderate to severe, abdominal pain. But in between attacks, you could be just fine. But make for sure it's not appendicitis, go to the hospital at once, if they experience this. Another of the migraine types is the transformed migraine.
Here is the reason you have a transformed headache.
Taking pain medicine every day can give you rebound headaches.
Rebound headaches frequently occur daily, and can be very painful, and are a common cause of chronic daily headache.
Over a period of time your migraine never stops hurting.
Your migraine "transforms" over time from an episodic condition to chronic daily headache, due to more and more frequent analgesic use.
Don't be caught up in this.
There are several more migraine types, and all of them can be a scary experience. One more is the
complicated migraine.
Lets not forget the hormonal migraine."It is well known that migraines occur nearly three times as often in women than in men, and is one of the top five most common disabling conditions in women". In over half of women, headaches are strictly related to their menstrual cycle. These are some of the types of migraines,We hope you found some useful information,and have a pain free day.
