An unhealthy lifestyle may look fun and easy, but the effect is ten times worse and scary than one could ever imagine. The constant increase in screen time and growing work pressure has degraded our physical health greatly. And hence, this has resulted in a lifestyle condition known as migraine. Migraine is a severe headache that causes throbbing pain on one side of the head. At times, it can often lead to nausea and vomiting.
However, if you want to stop this lifestyle condition, you can do that with the help of some fundamental lifestyle changes and the proper intake of medications.
Before coming across a migraine headache, you may encounter several symptoms. However, the symptoms and their intensity may vary among patients. The following are the most common symptoms that people may go through before a migraine headache:
Mood changes
Severe thirst
Bloating
Constipation
Lack of appetite
Food cravings
Note: These symptoms usually occur in the prodrome stage. Migraine has multiple stages, and the symptoms in each stage vary. If you encounter different symptoms, it could be due to a different stage, such as Aura, Attack, and postdrome.
There might be various causes triggering migraine. Here are some of them.
Increase in screen time.
Stress
Lack of proper sleep cycle
Dehydration
Alcohol
Any previous health condition, and many more.
Every condition comes with some symptoms. The below-mentioned are the signs and symptoms of migraine: -
Headache
Sensitivity to light, odours and noise
Dizziness and blurred vision
Fatigue

Loss of appetite
Curing any particular condition takes double the time to give birth to it. Migraine can be cured, but it might take you some time and consistent effort. Follow the below-mentioned steps to prevent or cure migraines.
Just like your body, your eyes need some break too. Limit down your screen time as this will reduce the pressure on your eyes.
Spending a reasonable amount of time in nature every day helps calm the brain cells and relaxes your mind and eyes.
Stress management is the NO. 1 step towards a healthy life. It is the one-stop solution for living a happy and fit life. No stress means no headache.
Drink enough water throughout the day. Dehydration is also one of the significant factors for all your bodily issues. Drink at least 3-4 litres of water a day. This not only helps in preventing or curing migraines but also results in healthy and glowing skin.
There are ‘n’ number of migraine medications available in the market. However, before you take any, you must refer to your doctor to know its effectiveness for you. Before assigning any medication to you, your health history and health status is reviewed comprehensively.
Following a proper sleep cycle is so crucial for the body. It calms down the cells and helps in rejuvenating our body and mind. So, we advise you to give your body enough rest that it requires.
Believe this or not, but 80% of the solution lies here. A healthy diet does so much justice to your body and mind that it cannot be stated in words. Add green leafy vegetables, fruits and protein-rich food as much as possible and witness the difference for yourself.
Following a healthy lifestyle may not give you instant results but, it will provide you with a long-live healthy life. Either migraine or any other condition, following a healthy lifestyle is the ultimate solution for all.
On the other hand, if the case is severe, you must seek medical attention. There are certain medications available that might be prescribed for migraine. However, which one aligns with your health status will be determined by your doctor. Hence, do not take any medication without consultation with your doctor. Taking any medication may result in undesired outcomes on your health.
