Migraines and Social Security Disability Benefits

Migraine headaches are painful, often debilitating headaches that affect a significant number of Americans regularly. In many cases, migraines cannot be shut down with a simple mediation. Although symptoms can be minimized, migraine sufferers must endure the pain and side effects until the episode passes, anywhere from a few hours to three days or more. Some patients may get migraines several times per month. Symptoms of migraines include:

Flashes of light (auras) at onset
Head pain
Pain that worsens with physical activity
Throbbing pain
Blind spots
Tingling or numbness in the arms and legs
Nausea/vomiting
Sensitivity to light and sound
Weakness
Language or speech problems
Thirst
Drowsiness
Irritability
Depression

The cause of migraine headaches is unclear, but chemical imbalances in the brain and nervous system changes are among the theories of explanation. While a migraine is taking place, a person experiences a drop in serotonin, an important neurotransmitter of the central nervous system. As a result, blood vessels dilate and become inflamed, causing severe head pain. There are migraine triggers that may bring about an episode, including rapid hormonal changes, alcohol, caffeine, and other foods, stress, sensory stimuli such as bright lights, sleep pattern changes, physical exertion, weather changes, and certain medications.

Migraine Headache Treatments

Migraine sufferers may benefit from pain relievers as well as preventative medications intended to reduce the frequency or severity of migraine attacks. Antidepressants, cardiovascular medication, and anti-seizure drugs are also used to control this condition. Learning what your individual triggers are and avoiding them is also important in controlling migraines.
