Types of Migraines: Understanding Your Headache
Not all
migraines are the same and are classified as these subtypes:
- Migraine Without Aura
- Migraine With Aura
- Migraine Aura Without Headache
- Vestibular Migraine
- Basilar Migraine
- Hemiplegic Migraine
- Ophthalmoplegic Migraine
What Triggers Migraines?
Common Migraine Causes
Although there is no definite cause of
migraine headaches, they can be triggered from a variety of things such as:
- Food Allergies
- Blood Sugar Dysregulation
- Toxicity
- Head Trauma
- Stress
- Infection
- Circulatory Dysfunction
- Autoimmunity
- Tumors
When Medication Isn't Enough
Typically if the MRI does not show any structural causes, your MD will prescribe different medications for treatment. If you are still suffering from migraines despite taking those medications, it would be best to look into other causes as listed above.
