Why is it coming?
Overwork, mental confusion and stress are the main causes of migraine. Body heat is also a cause of headaches. As the body heats up, the blood flow to the nerves leading to the head is blocked. Due to this, there is variation in its movement and headache. Even though some people have constipation problem, the body heats up and causes headaches.
There should be equal amount of salt, salty and sour in the food. Even those who take too much of any one of these on a regular basis can develop this problem.
Blood vessels dilate and swell causing pain. At that time, nitric oxide acid is secreted more. It stimulates the blood vessels. 5-Hydroxytryptamine (5-Hydroxytryptamine) acid level also increases in the blood. Due to the uneven blood flow, the nerves are affected and pain is felt. Some people may experience pain on both sides.
Migraines can also occur due to damage to the optic nerves. Staying awake for too long at night, sleeping too much in the morning, and spending too much time in the sun can also cause headaches. Migraines are more likely to occur in those who frequently take medicines and pills for other problems in the body. More recently, toothpastes have been found to trigger migraines.
Besides, the detergent powder and perfumes stuck to the clothes are mixed with the body through sweat and there is a high possibility of such problems. Some people also get pain from eating chocolate, cheese, oily food, butter and sour food.

Headache sufferers can also take painkillers without a doctor’s advice, which can be harmful. This must be avoided. Migraines are not an insurmountable problem. It is only a sign. If you know the symptoms and make lifestyle changes, you can get rid of migraines.
