Just threw up and nearly passed out from a migraine. I know it’s a migraine because I get them once or twice a year. But what ACTUALLY causes them?
In: Biology
A doctor told me of a theory that may explain some migraines and a overdose of common medications based on that theory that can sometimes avert them.
The theory is that migraines starting with visual disturbances may be due to swelling around and compression of the optic nerve.
His recommendation worked and was life changing for me. I went from crying in a dark room and having a one or yeo day ‘migraine hangover’ to being just in pain and needing to rest my eyes
For years I was not game to learn more about it in case it was a placebo effect for me. I didn’t google it as I normally would to better understand any medication, etc. But one day I mentioned to a friend what I was doing and he responded by mentioning the theory. So I googled and apparently it is one of the current theories for at least some migraines.
