On the other hand, we have chronic
migraines, which are more problematic as they worsen with exertion. The
patient also becomes sensitive to light and sound and experiences nausea
as well. Lasting from 4 hours to as long as 72 hours,
they are a constant source of trouble to the sufferer, as these symptoms
affect the sufferer for majority of the days in a month.
This
migraine pain is experienced only on one side of the head, may be
moderate to severe and have a pulsating quality. There are some
unfortunate souls for whom this headache has become a constant
companion, occurring in a more continuous, never-ending pattern, rather
than for about 15 days a month. It is more prevalent in those who have
previously had episodes of distinct, individual migraine attacks. This has also been termed by some scientists and
researchers as ‘transformed migraine’.
Whether
suffering from primary, secondary, chronic tension or chronic migraine,
treatment for all is required. You need to consult a doctor for
identifying the type of headache you are suffering from and the
treatment you need to take for it. Please do not try self medication as
it could be extremely dangerous.
