What Causes Migraine Headaches, Sensitivity To Light And Sound And Numbness In Feet?
Why are these daily migraine headaches... so severe I am light and sound sensitive. I have been getting numbness in my feet along with tingling. My memory Is poor. One day I got lost driving to my sons house to pick him up. A place I have been to many times. Sometimes I have trouble understanding speech.
Migraine is a throbbing severe headache that occurs in frontotemporal region of brain. The headache occurs in episodes and usually aggravated by sounds and light. The numbness and tingling in feet, memory impairments during episodes, difficulty in understanding etc symptoms are sometimes associated with migraine. Migraine with aura present with blurring of vision, brain fog and giddiness.
Cause of migraine headache is abnormal vascular phenomenon in brain. I would advise you to consult a neuropsychiatrist for expert opinion and treatment. Medicines commonly used in migraine are amitryptiline, nortryptiline etc. These are TCA antidepressants with good result in migraine. If no response occur then sodium valproate can be used. For symptomatic relief drugs like sumatriptan are used. In severe cases to prevent headache propranolol have nice results.
Apart from conventional medicines I would advise to avoid caffeine, tea and alcohol. Wear sunglasses in light. Have good sleep for at least 7 hours a night.
Hope this helps you. Thanks
