Why Migraine Happens? Migraines are a common and debilitating form of headache that affects millions of people worldwide. Despite their prevalence, the root cause and origin of migraines are still not well understood, and there is no single cause for migraines.
In this blog, we will explore what migraines are, the possible causes and root causes, and the latest research into their origin.
What are migraines?
A migraine is a type of headache that is characterized by severe and often debilitating pain. Migraines are typically accompanied by other symptoms, such as sensitivity to light and sound, nausea, and vomiting. They can last for several hours or even several days and can have a significant impact on a person’s quality of life.
Why Migraine Happens? Root causes of migraines
There are many possible causes of migraines, and the exact cause can vary from person to person. Some of the most common triggers include:
- Hormonal changes: such as those that occur during menstruation or menopause
- Food triggers: food additives, such as alcohol, caffeine, and artificial sweeteners
- Environmental triggers: bright lights, loud noises, and strong smells
- Stress: managing stress levels can help reduce the frequency and severity of migraines.
- Sleep disturbances: Lack of sleep, or changes in sleep patterns
Root causes of migraines
While the specific triggers for migraines may vary, the root cause of migraines is thought to be related to changes in the brain, including:
- Abnormal brain activity: fluctuations in the levels of certain neurotransmitters
- Blood flow changes: including the dilation of blood vessels in the brain
- Genetics: many people who suffer from migraines have a family history of the condition.
Latest research into the origin of migraines
Recent research has shed new light on the origin of migraines, including the role of inflammation and genetics. For example, some studies have suggested that migraines may be related to inflammation in the brain, while others have suggested that genetic factors may play a key role in the development of migraines.
Unfortunately is truly unknown, I would recommend to read Dr. Sarno’s books as it may offer a different approach to this matter, also look into my blog for some insights on Mindbody Connection.
