What are migraine auras?

Migraineurs,
Have you ever notice strange symptoms such as dizziness, ringing in your ears, seeing zigzag lines, and being sensitive to light
Does this mean a headache is on the way? Will the headache turn into a migraine?
Could this be migraine with aura? Can we make with aura go away?
What is a migraine with aura, and what causes it?
“Migraine with aura” are sometimes called classic migraine.
Aura are feelings and symptoms that occur shortly before the headache begins.
The early symptoms are also called a prodrome.
It’s has been researched that at least two brain chemicals -- serotonin and dopamine -- play a role. According to the theory, these chemicals regulate brain function.If the brain and the body’s immune system overreact, then, an abundance of immune response cells flows through the blood vessels to the brain. The brain’s blood vessels open wider to accommodate these cells.
Then more chemicals are released to help control the vessels’ muscles.
Whewn these vessels open and constrict, headache starts that might escalete to migraine.
Aura could be caused by the following : -
- overweight
- Substances
- behaviors
- environment
- family genes
In family genes possibilities ranges from , childhood to adolescence, more boys than girls, more adult women than adult men have migraines.
It will eventually reduce or lesson as we get older, in fact by 50 it will be very rare.
The only other comforting fact , it is not life threatening.
