What is your best shot against Migraines?
Taking the necessary measures will allow you to avoid the appearance of triggers from migraine attacks, such as stress or certain bad habits.
Manage Stress
A little stress at work can be a source of motivation. Also, chronic and poorly controlled stress can negatively affect your health and increase your risk of having migraine attacks. Thus, we need to find that balance.
If you feel under pressure, go for a walk. A little fresh air can help you resume your activity with more energy. Use meditation techniques to help you manage stress, plan your tasks
A good organization of the tasks to be carried out is also key. It will help you keep everything under your control and reduce feelings of stress.
Watch Your Exercise Level
Intense exercise has been reported to cause migraines in individuals with chronic migraine.
Do you know that feeling when you finish a workout, the energy runs through your body and the emotion invades you for having achieved something positive? We all love that feeling after working out.
For chronic migraines, there is often a feeling of exhaustion after exercise. It’s the kind of exhaustion that makes some feel as they can barely stand up. Your head becomes heavy and you feel exhausted. Then the pain begins. Sharp pains around the eyes and in the back of the head.
One way of dealing with this is by watching out for exercises that are effective and do not trigger the pain.
If Perfume and cologne Triggers Migraines, Avoid them!
There is nothing worse than stepping into someone’s perfume cloud or accidentally passing through the perfumery section of a store. For some, walking near a perfumery is a threat. Odors can instantly trigger a migraine or worsen the pain of an existing one. If such is the case, you often have no choice but to cover your nose when riding the subway with someone who wears too strong a fragrance.
Avoid Bright, yellow, or flashing lights
Migraine is also known to be triggered by yellow or flashing lights. If this is the case, then you should avoid ambulances or vehicles emitting bright light
