Painless migraines have many names, such as
sans-migraine, acephalgic migraine, migraine equivalent, visual
migraine, eye migraine, ocular migraines and silent migraine. But, the
most common one is migraine "aura" without headache. Migraine aura
without headache is the situation when you have migraine symptoms but no
headache. The symptoms are generally visual like shimmering, bright
zigzag shapes and distortions signs.
Symptoms of
painless migraine are vertigo or dizziness, difficulty in speaking,
weakness, numbness, blind spots, double vision and amnesia. A migraine
aura, typically lasts for an hour. Often, medications is not required
and if you need it, you should take something that acts fast. Commonly
used drugs are effervescent aspirin, a beta-agonist inhalent, calcium
channel blockers, sublingual nitroglycerin and naproxen sodium.
Abortive
drugs prove helpful for treating painless migraines. Sometimes, even an
aspirin can stop the activation of migraine triggers. Beta-agonist
inhalent, sublingual nitroglycerin, meclofenamate and naproxen sodium
are helpful. Calcium channel blockers used for migraine headache relief
may also be helpful in case of prevention. Consulting your headache
specialist and maintaining your headache diary are advisable.
Remember
that painless migraine is still a migraine. It's a misconception that
migraine is only a bad headache. It's actually a neurological disease,
and headache is one of the symptoms. There are various treatments for
migraine causes, including painless migraine.
