Migraine

Although much research has been undertaken to locate the cause of migraine headaches, the exact cause is unknown and not yet fully understood. Research has shown however that symptoms associated with migraine result from changes in the blood vessels located in the brain. Temporary dilation or widening of these blood vessels and nerves, triggered by chemicals located within the brain, are thought to cause the symptoms of migraine.

Half of people who experience migraine also have close relatives who also suffer from the condition. This suggests that genetics may also play a role in the development and suffering of migraine.

Certain people find that their migraines are also associated with certain triggers, these can include:

• Beginning their period
• Stress
• Tiredness/Fatigue
• Certain foods or drinks

Migraine symptoms have been linked to the temporary dilation (widening) of blood vessels in the brain, resulting in the throbbing like pain commonly associated with migraine. The prescription only treatments available from Smart Chemist are referred to as ‘Triptans’. They are selective serotonin (5HT) receptor agonists, which work to treat migraine symptoms by stimulating serotonin receptors in the brain, resulting in the constriction (narrowing) of blood vessels returning them back to their original state.
