Migraine Headaches Treatment in Brooklyn - Century Medical & Dental Center

One of the leading causes of missed work and disability claims, migraine headaches deliver symptoms that often are debilitating. Starting with severe throbbing pain, usually on one side of your head, migraine headache symptoms also can include painful sensitivity to light and sound. The symptoms can last anywhere from a few hours to days. Migraines significantly impact not just your daily routines, but your quality of life.

You may experience early warning signs of an oncoming migraine in the form of visual sensations known as auras. Blind spots, flashes of light and other visual cues often signal approaching discomfort. These pre-attack symptoms may also include trouble speaking or walking correctly. Your Century Medical and Dental Center top rated Brooklyn doctor helps correctly identify the triggers to prevent your migraines, as well as medication to control the symptoms.

Symptoms Requiring Migraine Headache Treatment

Beginning in childhood to early adulthood, migraines often progress through four stages, each with its own set of symptoms:

• Prodrome. One or two days before a migraine, subtle changes may occur to signal its coming. You may notice a more depressed moodiness, stiffness in your neck, increased thirst, constipation or frequent urination, food cravings and yawning frequently.
• Aura. Striking before or during a migraine, auras include vision changes or even vision loss, numbness or weakness in your face, trouble speaking, hearing auditory sounds like music or odd noises, a pins and needles feeling in one of your limbs, and occasionally, a jerking movement that can’t be controlled. An aura episode can last anywhere from 20 to 60 minutes.
• Attack. Lasting from four to 72 hours without treatment, migraines vary greatly from person to person. Some sufferers experience intense pain that pulses and throbs, often on only one side of your head. Others have trouble with nausea and vomiting. Certain sights and sounds become very uncomfortable.
• Post-drome. You may feel drained or fatigued after fighting the pain of a migraine. While the end of pain can bring on a feeling of elation, take care not to move your head too quickly as it can reintroduce the pain.
