Beating Your Migraine Symptoms Once And For All
How do I notice migraine triggers that cause migraine symptoms? The best solution for keeping track of the relationship between migraine triggers and symptoms is a journal. Most patients refer to the tracking as keeping a pain journal. At the moment when migraine pain begins, write down all the foods you have eaten that day and as far back as you can remember the day before. It is also important to note the temperature in the room, any changes in environment and stress factors that may play into the start of a migraine headache. Over time, the pain journal may reveal a common cause or trigger that can be eliminated. What if the trigger is stress? Stress is a very common cause of migraine symptoms. Life is not without stress, but there are ways to manage the effect the body has on different types of stress every day. If stress is centered on growing pains at home, leaving the house alone one in a while for a day out or even a few hours of “me” time can help to reduce the effect of stress on the body. Other ways to manage stress are a little more reactive rather than proactive. Taking warm baths and drinking chamomile tea are both great ways to calm down the body. Often, stress releases hormones into the body that cause a fight or flight response. These hormones could be causing the migraine symptoms. If the body learns to allow a higher level of stress before triggering the hormones, suffering can be reduced. There is no reason to live with migraine pain day in and day out without taking steps to prevent that pain. A pain journal can help a patient learn how their body reacts to certain triggers and situations and give back a bit of control over what seems like an uncontrollable condition.
