Headaches and Migraines
Are they something to worry about?
Headaches are always…well, a headache. But they can be much worse during menopause.
For instance in the case of menopausal migraine headaches: the pain generally comes on slowly on one side of the head, builds, and begins to pulsate or throb.
This type of headache can make it almost impossible to do routine daily tasks of life. Fortunately, women don´t have to live with this unbearable yet common symptom of menopause…
About menopausal headaches
While women may experience headaches in many forms, the experience is never the same for every woman.
Types of headaches may vary, but there are basic standards that make them identifiable…
There are different types of headaches that affect women in the premenopausal, postmenopausal, and menopausal stage. But they can all be traced back to the same root cause.
These headaches can last anywhere from 2 hours, to 3 days.
Let’s take a look at the different types of menopausal headaches…
Types of menopausal headaches
Some women might be familiar with menstrual migraines or headaches. This means that they might be somewhat familiar with headaches caused by hormonal imbalances.
However, menopausal headaches or migraines can be slightly different to the ones during menstruation.
Here are the 4 most common types of menopausal headaches:
Migraines with aura
These start with a neurological phenomenon, or aura, experienced about half an hour before head pain arrives.
Most auras are experienced visually and can be identified by bright, shimmering lights around objects or at the edges of the field of vision.
Migraines without aura
This is the most common type of migraine.
It can occur on one side or both sides of the head. Fatigue or mood swings may occur 24 hours before a headache.
Nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light often accompany these types of migraines.
Tension headaches
They are the most common type of headache.
A tension headache usually causes a mild to moderate pain throughout the head. The feeling can be described as the feeling of having a tight band wrapped around the head.
A tension headache may also cause pain in the back of your neck at the base of your skull.
Sinus headaches
To understand sinus headaches, let’s first look at what exactly sinuses are.
Sinuses are air-filled cavities located in the cheekbones, forehead, and behind the bridge of the nose. The sinuses produce a thin mucus that drains out of the channels of the nose. When a sinus becomes inflamed, usually as the result of an allergic reaction or an infection, the inflammation will prevent the outflow of mucus and cause a pain similar to that of a headache.
Therefore, a sinus headache is the inflammation and blockage of the sinus cavities. This is also known as congestion or a congestion headache.
What causes menopausal headaches and migraines?
Similar to menstrual headaches, menopausal headaches are caused by changes in hormone levels.
More specifically, these headaches are caused by decreases in the estrogen and progesterone levels in the body.
Estrogen levels naturally decrease severely when a woman approaches and enters menopause. It happens to everybody. So it seems that there is nothing you can do to prevent it… or is there?
We will get to that in a moment. Let’s just quickly look at what triggers and worsens menopausal headaches…
Triggers of menopausal headaches
Although hormonal imbalance is the main cause of headaches during menopause, there are certain things that may trigger a headache or make it worse.
Here is a list of triggers that can set off menopausal headaches:
- Bright lights, loud noises, or strong doors.
- Stress, anxiety, or relaxation after stress.
- Weather changes.
- Alcohol, caffeine – too much or withdrawal.
- Lack of, or too much sleep.
- Skipped meals or fasting.
- Aspartame, common in sugar-free sweeteners.
- Foods that contain nitrates, like processed meats and sausages.
- Monosodium glutamate, better known as MSG, found in fast food, Chinese food, and seasonings.
- Tyramine, found in aged cheese, smoked fish, Chianti wine.
How can I treat or prevent menopausal headaches?
This is the part that you were waiting for…
Well, to start off, you should avoid the above-mentioned triggers as far as possible.
But to really, truly treat menopausal headaches and migraines you need to treat them at the root cause of the problem.
As mentioned earlier, the root cause of menopausal headaches is a decrease in estrogen levels.
While hormone replacement therapy (HRT) has been around for a while, it usually comes with several negative side effects.
That is why it is best to follow the natural route.
“And what is the natural route?” I hear you ask…
It is a life-changing product called Manna Menopause Support.
