This Brings Relief From Migraine Headaches

Nearly 30 percent of all headache sufferers report that they have migraines. In some cases, people who think that they are having a migraine are in fact experiencing a different type of headache because they don't know the difference between cluster headaches and migranes. Since the migraine headache has many variations and different treatments for each type, it is very important to try to locate the exact cause of your migraines so that you can better treat it.

There are many different types of migraines, and if you can locate the cause of your migraine you might be able to eliminate your headaches altogether. Different treatment courses including migraine hormone replacement therapy, new migraine tension headache medication, and learning what to avoid with migraine can help relieve your headaches for good. Here are some of the many different types of migraines:

• Seratonin migranes - This type of migraine is caused by low levels of serotonin. Hormone replacement therapy has been successful in relieving pain and migraines caused by dips in hormone levels.
• Aura migraines - Oura migraines are commonly referred to as an optical migraine or ophthalmic migraine. These headaches are preceded by changes in vision that fade away to be replaced by a migraine and, in some cases, temporary blindness.
• Migraine from injury - Sometimes a head injury can result in 2b migraines. In these cases, the injury itself needs to be treated to relieve headaches.
• Cardiac migraine - This type of headache is caused by poor circulation to the brain due to a disorder of the heart or circulatory system. This migraine and angina normally go hand in hand.
• High blood pressure - 2b migraine headaches are caused by high blood pressure. Migraines can also be triggered by low blood pressure. 
• Celiac disease - Researchers have found a strong link between celiac disease and migraines. A special, gluten-free diet usually helps relieve symptoms of this type of migraine. 
• TMJ and the migraine - Disorders of the temporomandibular joint, located in front of the ear, can lead to persistent and painful headaches. 
• Headaches after illness - Migraines after chemotherapy or other treatments due to illness are common and usually go away on their own after a period of time.
• Nerve block migraine - This type of migraine can be relieved by injections of anesthesia into nerve tissue. The injection is called a stellate ganglion block and is very successful in treating migraines.
• Atypical migraines - These migraines do not follow any typical migraine pattern and are often accompanied by abdominal migraine symptoms.

Once you have figured out what type of migraine you have, your doctor will be better able to prescribe a treatment course for you. Treatments could include Keppra dosing for chroninc migraine, Lidocaine for migraine headaches, essential fatty acids for migraines, or offers of free migraine medicine.
