menopause. This type of headache saps the energy out of you. At the end
of the headache, you feel that you have been down with some sort of
sickness for days together. You feel tired and exhausted. At the peak
level of the headache, you feel a throbbing sensation, shooting pain
within the head, some corners of the head almost bursting out. The
slightest noise, switching on the light or for that matter, even if you
open your eyes, you feel terribly uncomfortable. This is the style of
menopause headache.
It is the type of headache,
not experienced by women, till this stage of their life. It is one of
the important turning points in their life. During menopause, estrogen
is not produced at normal rates and therefore a woman's hormone system
goes out of control. At the end of the menstrual life cycle the
progesterone level becomes much less in most of the women, and the types
of headaches they never experienced before, fall to their lot.

is the main cause of this type of unbearable headache? Blood vessels in
the brain contract and widen at a fast pace, and the pain nerves are
unable to cope up with type of activity, and they stimulate pain.

could be a sudden change in your eyesight. You may experience a double
vision, and in extreme cases, partial blindness is not ruled out. Your
hands and limbs may experience a peculiar type of weakness. Inactivity
shall be your activity. Your lips will become numb and cold.
Take
care of your diet. Remember, you can never be the same person, you were
a few months ago. It is an important biological change, and each of such
change brings forth its quota of suffering or enjoyment in the life of
an individual.
