A Migraine is a specific type of headache that is often associated with an intense throbbing pain that also can result in nausea, vomiting and a sensitivity to light and sound. Prior to the migraine many suffer from what some call "Kaleidoscope Vision". This is where part of your vision is affected. It's as though you are looking through a kaleidoscope.
I have had this on rare occasions and it started with only a small percentage of my vision in one eye that was affected and grew to a larger percentage followed by an intense throbbing headache. I also had this same effect once without a headache, possibly because I was proactive that time and took some Ibuprofen immediately.
Medications often used for migraines include NSAIDS such as Ibuprofen. Estrogen has many effects, one of which is suppression of the immune system. Women are more likely to have migraines around the time of menstruation, when their estrogen levels are low, and are less likely to have migraines when they are pregnant, when their estrogen levels are high.
Inflammation is actually necessary to the body, it allows our bodies to fight infection and helps our wounds to heal. However, too much inflammation is harmful. Chronic inflammation is is associated with most disease and illness and can wreak havoc on the body.
One of the changes that takes place is the swelling of the blood vessels of the brain, possibly with leakage of bloodstream proteins into brain tissue. Many successful migraine treatments work by counteracting this blood vessel swelling, including caffeine, a group of medications called the triptans, and another group of medications called ergots.
While neurogenic inflammation is a localized process of the brain’s blood vessels, migraine might also involve inflammation of the rest of the body. For more information on migraines Visit http://www.trivita.com
