OCULAR MIGRAINES
Ocular migraines are actually categorized as pain located around the eye and its symptoms may be nausea, vomiting and having double vision. There is no known cause for migraines, but it is believed that migraines may involve the blood vessels in your head and it usually happens in the early morning or during the day with a gripping and intense pain on one side of the head. It often lasts for hours and to some extent, even days, and when left untreated, it gets worse. In some instances, sleep can cure migraines. Migraines are also sometimes accompanied by visual disturbances such as zigzag lights, light flashes or sparks. No known cause is actually directed to this kind of migraine but experts believe that these are caused by alcohol consumption, hunger, premenstrual changes and even the use of oral contraceptives can trigger migraines. There are also foods that may cause migraines. Among them are chocolates, milk, aged cheese, red wine, and foods that have MSG. Other precipitating factors to some people are the exposure to bright lights or to too much exercise. To treat it, it is advised to avoid the trigger mechanism of this. There are also drugs which help in alleviating the pain of ocular migraines and some people take aspirins to help them. And for some people, analgesic painkillers are also advised and taken and they attest that this works. For someone who really have an intense and searing pain in the head and that this pain occurs often (at least two or three times a week), medications such as amitriptyline or propanolol may be taken.
