KEY TAKEAWAYS
- 99% of the time headaches are not something to worry about but if you have a sudden onset ,severe headache you should seek immediate help
- There are three hundred different types of headaches and they are divided into two types – primary and secondary
- Primary headaches are divided into 3 categories, tension, migraines, and TAC
- Most of us will have a tension-type headache at some time
- A migraine is a neurological event that you are generally genetically predisposed to
- A migraine with aura begins with a small electrical wave going through the outer part of the brain. It’s a sign your migraine is about to happen
- The typical migraine headache is one-sided, unilateral, and generally over the eye and side of the head
- When experiencing a migraine headache, it is difficult to function
- Activation of the nervous system causes an expression of a neuropeptide and the protein creates a sensitivity in part of the brain
- Triptans stop the pain of the headache because they stop the dilation of blood vessels if taken in time
- CGRP blocks the neuropeptide and can stop the headache from beginning
- TAC headaches are always on one side and the extreme pain can result in people feeling very agitated
- The hypothalamus is involved in cluster headaches so the headaches can often happen seasonally at the same time of the day
BEST MOMENTS
‘Visual auras are very common’
‘Most people will need to find a quiet dark room and wait for the storm to pass’
‘When you have experienced an aura repeatedly it becomes a familiar sign that a migraine is beginning’
