I have suffered for years with migraines, and have found that when there is low atmospheric pressure (usually before a heavy storm) it triggers it. For years doctors have told me the usual, no chocolate, no cheese, no alcohol but even staying off these I still get the headache, I don't get the flashing lights so much now, its more of a black spot and blurred vision by day 2 the acid has built up so much in my stomach that I have to vomit. After vomitting I do feel a little better. But its Hell.
Something was on the UK TV a few days ago that migraine sufferers are prone to stroke, diabetes and heart failure. I am worried as my grandmother had several strokes and both grandparents and mother had heart attacks which killed all of them also mum had diabetes.
I have been for checks and there is nothing wrong with my heart nor do I show signs of diabetes. Its just the migraines. If anyone has a non medicated cure I would be grateful to hear from you.
Hello, and welcome to MyMigraineConnection.com!
I wish there was a "cure" for Migraine disease, but at this moment in time there is not. Migraine is a genetic neurological disease thought to be caused by overactive neurons in our brains and genetics. Continue reading Migraine - What Is It? for more information.
A new study was just released from the Journal of the American Academy of Neurology adding to previous findings that Migraine disease is tied to increased risk of cardiovascular disease.
