What harm does migraine have to the body?
Migraine is very harmful to the body. First of all, when you have a headache, it will bring pain. Severe headache and persistent chronic headache will cause digestive system dysfunction, which will affect people's mental health. This is because if you have a headache for a long time, your personality will change and you will often become grumpy. Secondly, migraine can occur together with other diseases, such as anxiety and depression. Headache caused by the increase or decrease of acute intracranial pressure is often accompanied by nausea and vomiting. In addition, if you have a headache for a long time, it will also have a certain impact on the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases of the human body. Many patients are prone to cerebral thrombosis, cerebral hemorrhage and hypertension. Moreover, migraine is closely related to cerebrovascular diseases. Migraine is recurrent for a long time, and the probability of suffering from cerebrovascular disease is higher than that of ordinary people.
Brain injury caused by migraine
Migraine is a primary headache, which belongs to functional headache. It will not directly cause organic injury and brain injury, but long-term headache will still have adverse effects on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. For example, a long-term headache will lead to an increase in blood pressure, thus aggravating the damage to heart and cerebrovascular diseases. In addition, long-term pain symptoms will directly affect the patient's sleep state, leading to insufficient rest of the brain, affecting the energy supply of the brain, and causing insufficient blood supply to the cerebral arteries. In addition, long-term pain symptoms can easily lead to anxiety and depression, thus affecting patients' mental health. Therefore, once the symptoms of migraine appear, it is necessary to seek medical treatment as soon as possible and carry out systematic treatment. Migraine patients are at greater risk of brain injury, abnormal white matter and changes in brain volume. This correlation is more obvious in migraine patients with aura.
Does migraine affect the eyes?
There are many kinds of migraine in clinic, but most of them have no effect on vision. However, there is one type of migraine that does affect people's vision. This type of migraine is clinically called retinal migraine. Retinal migraine is rare, but each attack, the patient will have a dark spot in one eye, or one eye will be blind, usually lasting less than an hour. But sometimes, due to recurrent migraine, patients will suffer from irreversible vision loss, which means that patients will eventually become permanently blind. Therefore, once a patient suffers from this type of migraine, it is best to take medication regularly to prevent migraine and avoid blindness.
Does migraine affect the fetus?
During pregnancy, if the symptoms of migraine attack are mild, it will not affect the fetus, but severe migraine attack may affect the fetus. The main reasons are as follows: first, when migraine attacks seriously, patients will have emotional fluctuations, which will affect the growth and development of the fetus. Second, when migraine attacks are serious, the choice of drugs must be reasonable. It is recommended that patients go to neurology and obstetrics for examination and treatment. If the drug is not selected properly, it will affect the development of the fetus. Third, effective medication should be given under the guidance of obstetricians and neurologists when migraine attacks, so as not to affect sleep and mood. It is suggested that patients should take care of themselves, keep a good mood, develop good living habits, and don't stay up late.
