Nearly 30 million Americans suffer from
migraines. If you are one of these unlucky victims, you know the
annoying and sometime debilitating symptoms they can cause. Nausea,
dizziness, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound are some of the
unpleasant problems that accompany the severe headaches. If you catch a
migraine before it begins, you can reduce its severity. By identifying
and avoiding specific triggers, you can minimise your chances of
suffering from a migraine.
Avoid loud noises and bright lights
Loud noises, flashing lights, and
sensory stimulation are common triggers for migraine headaches. These
stimuli may be difficult to avoid, but things like driving at night,
movie theaters, clubs and crowded venues, and glare from the sun are
common environments that may cause migraines. Take breaks from the TV or
computer screen to rest your eyes, and adjust the brightness levels on
these screens. Pay close attention to all visual and audio disturbances
and make sure you can easily avoid them if a migraine arises
