Migraine can make everyday tasks difficult; control it in time with these 5 ways.

News Topical, Digital Desk : Migraine is a headache that can make everyday life difficult. The US National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke describes migraine as a severe, throbbing pain in one part of the head. This pain can lead to missed opportunities. If you understand your migraine triggers and adopt some simple precautions, you can prevent this pain to a large extent before it even occurs.

These are some of the triggers for migraines.

• Changes in sleep-wake patterns
• Change in the weather
• alcohol
• Food Additives
• hormonal changes in women
• certain types of medications
• Tension

How to manage migraine

• Keep a diary: Keep a diary of your migraine pain. This will help you identify your triggers. You'll be able to see if your migraines occur on weekends, in the morning, or in the afternoon. If you're taking medications for migraine pain, you can note these things in your diary. You can also keep a record using an app.
• Learn to manage stress. Migraine is a chronic condition and doesn't go away. To combat this, try to live a healthy lifestyle as much as possible. Identifying migraine triggers is equally important, as is learning to manage stress.  For depression,  proper diet and sleep, along with quality psychotherapy, are more effective than medication.
• Other treatment methods: You can also try treatments like acupuncture and Ayurveda for pain. Consult an experienced physician for these. Take natural supplements to reduce recurrent migraine attacks. Always consult your doctor before taking these supplements.
• Take help of preventive therapy: If migraine pain occurs frequently, then in case of change in weather or temperature, you can also take preventive medicines on the advice of your doctor.
• Eat more natural foods: Experts recommend limiting caffeine and  sugar intake  . Minimize processed foods in your diet and avoid chemicals like MSG as much as possible. Choose protein and vegetables over carbohydrates and sugars. Avoid foods that don't clearly state their ingredients on the label.
