Hello,
If you have a silent migraine, it means you get any of the typical migraine symptoms except for one: pain. Your doctor may suggest medications or devices that can treat the problem.You can also help yourself by avoiding your migraine triggers. In the long time ago experts thought migraine was mainly a problem with blood flow in your brain.And now they believe that headache involve the way nerve cells are firing in your brain and how that activity related to the blood flow. Silent migraine can be set off by the same things that cause painful ones.
What and how you eat are common triggers, such as:
- Caffeine
- Alcohol
- Chocolate
- Nuts
- Pickled food
Some times bright light, loud noise,weather and extreme heat or cold. Changes in your hormones in menstruation and pregnancy and also with birth control pills, stress level whether it is physically or mentally can give you silent migraine.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
