Migraine, which is widely seen in society, manifests itself as one-sided, throbbing and severe pain. Migraine cases, in which patients are disturbed by light and sound, may sometimes be accompanied by nausea and vomiting. Migraines can be triggered by smells or southwest winds, as well as fermented drinks and foods such as cheese and wine. In migraine, which can be treated, it is necessary to avoid changing doctors and not to abandon the treatment. Migraine-type headaches can often be accompanied by headaches due to excessive medication use.
Dr. states that migraine is among the pains described as primary headaches. Celal Şalçini said, “Migraine pains are one-sided, throbbing and severe. Sometimes patients feel uncomfortable with light and sound during pain. Nausea and vomiting are often accompanied. It may be more noticeable during menstrual periods. "Sometimes, smells, southwest wind, some fruits, fermented foods and drinks such as cheese or wine can trigger migraines," he said.
Treatment should not be left unfinished
Migraine pain is usually caused by good sleep. Stating that he came, Dr. Celal Şalçini said, “Migraine is one of the diseases that can be treated, but doctor and patient harmony is extremely important. "Frequent changes of doctors, non-compliance with treatment and early discontinuation of treatment are the most important reasons for treatment failure," he said.
Attention to secondary headaches!
There are two types of headaches. stated Dr. Celal Şalçini noted that it is important to take secondary headaches seriously and said, “Among primary headaches, there are types of headaches such as tension and cluster headaches, as well as migraine. Headaches caused by hypertension, brain tumor, brain hemorrhage or many secondary reasons are of great importance. These types of headaches are called secondary or secondary headaches. The doctor's priority is to investigate these headaches and this is the most important reason why we request imaging such as brain MRI / Tomography. The treatment of these headaches aims to eliminate the cause of the headache. For example, starting hypertension medication. "Here, the patient is given temporary painkillers and our main goal is to reduce blood pressure," he said.
Tension type b Dr. noted that headache is actually a reflection of psychological stress as a headache. Celal Şalçini said that the treatment of this type of headache is completely different from migraine and that treatment is started with psychiatric drugs.
Overuse of medication causes headaches
Other problematic problems today. Dr. stated that one of the headaches is the headache that occurs due to "excessive medication use". Celal Şalçini said, “Since these patients use painkillers very frequently, they develop a kind of addiction to painkillers. This type of headache is seen in patients who are resistant to treatment and incompatible with treatment. It often accompanies chronic migraine/tension headaches. The priority in treatment is to keep the patient away from excessive use of painkillers, and this is the difficult part of the treatment. "Sometimes it may be necessary to hospitalize patients to keep them away from painkillers and provide controlled treatment," he said.
