We often hear about migraine, and we hear about the suffering of some people with this disease and their absence from social events because of it. Although this disease is common, not every head pain is a sister, so I loved to talk about the disease and how to diagnose it and how to treat it.
It is a symptomatic syndrome that causes pain in a naughty head (and sometimes a few in the entire head), lasting several hours
For three days, comes periodically, often accompanied by other symptoms, notably vomiting, nausea and vision disorders.
The disease is a common disease in society, where some American studies prove that at least 10% Of society suffer from at least one bout of migraine attacks during their lifetime.
The disease begins at any age, but most cases suffer from this disease in adolescence and early twenties, and there is a family history in most cases and this supports that there is a genetic factor in many cases of this disease, and women suffer more than men.
As for the physiology of the disease, it has two stages: the first stage is the reduction of the arteries leading to the brain and this reduces the access of blood to the area of the cerebral cortex causing the visual disturbances and other sensory symptoms, the second phase is characterized by the expansion of the arteries leading to the brain is responsible for the head.
There are many theories that try to explain the physiology of the disease, some theories talk that there is a role of serotonin that causes the contraction of vessels, and there are modern theories talk about the role of calcium carriers in the disease is still under study.
Therefore, the sister is a chronic disease, where the patient suffers from severe pain in the head, and the pain is characterized by a specific section of the head, characterized by the disease cyclicality, that is to come for hours to days and then reduce this pain and then return, usually accompanied by other symptoms, vomiting And paleness, and treatment is focused on painkillers and there is no radical treatment.
