Who has ever suffered a migraine attack will probably remember it for ever.
Why that? A part from the pain itself, there are so many accompanying unpleasant feelings.
Migraine is often just the expression of a deeper lying feeling of unhappiness, of a sense of unworthiness, of low self-esteem.
A part from these more mental problems, migraine is often related to physical issues.
A well known domain of migraine is that of perfectionists.
They are mostly men.
They pretend to do every thing to a very high standard and if they are not able to reach this (self set) standard, a severe migraine may set in.
There are students who are victims of these, so to say, self-induced migraines.
Obviously, they are not aware of what harm they are doing to their body.
Apparently, once they get aware, they seek for help.
They feel that it is a vicious circle; the more they ask of themselves, the more violent becomes the migraine and the more often it will happen.
Migraine is often just the tip of the iceberg.
The health issues related to migraine are many.
Let us start with the female problems.
Migraine often accompanies the monthly period.
in other words it is hormone dependent.
Sometimes the hormones do not play any role.
It is rather the stress and the pain of the period that cause migraine.
Many women do not consider their period as a natural thing.
They suffer or they hate it.
In other words, they do not accept their body with all of its expressions.
For most women this is not a conscious "knowing" or rejection.
The consequence of it may still be a migraine.
The tensions accumulated in the neck can also create a migraine.
It is therefore important to relax the neck and the shoulders.
Most people are not aware that their tensions attack these areas of their body.
These tensions are the result of too long hours in front of a computer, just to mention one reason.
In order to release stress, you can stretch your body every hour for a few minutes.
Or you may rotate your head first from the left side to the right side and then from the right side to the left side.
Do it slowly.
Both movements are meant to be carried out for six times only.
This is a very good exercise for releasing stress in the area of the neck and the shoulders.
Migraine is related to many severe health issues.
As this is the domain of a medical professional, I will not enter it Ask your doctor if you have migraine and suffer from a serious health issue..
He or she will be able to help you although it must be said that most medication just cut the unpleasantness and the pain of a migraine but never erase its root.
If you suffer from migraine, ask yourself whether you are too stressed, whether you do not give your body sufficient sleep and rest.
Or whether it is not better to go and see a specialist who can search, together with you, for the reason of painful migraine.
Do not just accept migraine.
Your life and well being are too precious.
