Menstrual Migraine Headaches
Frederick R. Jelovsek MD
Migraine headaches are more common in women and 60-70% of women with migraines report some relationship with their menstrual period. Usually there is an increased frequency before, during and after menses. There is a category of migraine that is called a true menstrual migraine . This is a migraine headache that occurs regularly, each month but only between the 2nd day before the menses and the end of menstruation. Menstrual migraine is thought to occur in about 14% of women. The reason it is important to diagnose this subcategory of migraine is because it seems to be triggered by falling estrogen (estradiol) levels at the end of the menstrual cycle. Therefore it is quite treatable with low doses of estrogen starting one to two days before menses and continuing throughout the menstrual flow. Menstrual migraine can also be a problem on birth control pills. In this case, the migraine occurs in the seven days off of the active pills (during the seven different colored inactive sugar or iron pills). This can also be treated with low dose estrogen during that seven days. Sometimes, what is a migraine headache versus what is just a chronic tension-type headache gets confused. A recent publication

Headaches in older people
How are they different in this age-group?
John Edmeads, MD VOL 101 / NO 5 / MAY 1997 / POSTGRADUATE MEDICINE This page is best viewed with a browser that supports tables. This is the fourth of four articles on headaches Preview : As Will Rogers observed, getting old is not much fun, but it sure beats the alternative. Age does have some compensations, though. For one thing, the elderly have fewer headaches. Unfortunately, about a third of those that occur are secondary to systemic disease or primary intracranial lesions. Dr Edmeads describes the special problems of diagnosing and treating headaches in the elderly. He also discusses headache-generating diseases that are more common with age. T he overall decline in the number of headaches as a person ages was noted long ago. In the mid-1850s, Romberg (1) made the declaration that "hemicrania generally diminishes in advanced age, or entirely ceases; in females it often terminates at the period of decrepitude." (He was young when he wrote that, and his popularity among female patients can only be imagined.) Emerson stated it more elegantly in an essay published in 1870: "At fifty years, 'tis said, afflicted citizens lose their sick headaches." Epidemiologists concur with these assertions. In his survey of a community in Wales, Waters (2) found that 92% of women and 74% of men between ages 21 and 34 years had headaches; these figures dropped to 66% and 53% between ages 55 and 74, and to 55% and 22% after age 75. Other epidemiologic studies confirm that the prevalence of headache declines with age. (3) Whereas it is one of the most common symptoms in the young, headache is the 10th most common symptom in elderly women and the 14th most common in elderly men (4) .

Some result from missed meals or occasional muscle tension and are easily remedied. If the problem is not relieved by standard treatments, a headache sufferer may be referred to an internist, a neurologist, or a psychologist. Drug therapy, biofeedback training, stress reduction, and elimination of certain foods from the diet are the most common methods of preventing and controlling migraine and other vascular headaches. Regular exercise can also reduce the frequency and severity of migraine headaches. Temporary relief can sometimes be obtained by using cold pack or by pressing on the bulging artery found in front of the ear on the painful side of the head. What is the prognosis?

Headaches in children
When is a complete diagnostic workup indicated?
Paul K. Winner, DO VOL 101 / NO 5 / MAY 1997 / POSTGRADUATE MEDICINE This page is best viewed with a browser that supports tables. This is the third of four articles on headaches Preview : When a child has headaches, parents usually seek medical attention to get reassurance that the cause is not a brain tumor or other serious problem. Many parents don't realize that it is not uncommon for migraine headaches to begin during childhood. Other parents may realize that migraines are part of their family history but don't know about frightening variants, such as benign torticollis. Dr Winner describes childhood presentations of migraine and other headaches and discusses atypical findings that require further assessment. He also summarizes methods that are useful in checking and preventing headache attacks. U ncommon primary headache syndromes as well as secondary headache disorders in children can be quite anxiety-provoking, not only for patients and parents but also for practitioners, who must decide what degree of evaluation is needed and what treatment is appropriate. Thorough history taking, physical examination and, when appropriate, diagnostic testing usually allow physicians to distinguish primary headaches from headaches secondary to another problem. However, evaluation of children, especially those under age 10, requires special knowledge and techniques. Input from parents is crucial in obtaining an accurate headache history. Important determinations in history taking are whether the child experiences more than one type of headache and what level of disability the headaches cause. At present, there is no easily used scale to measure disability from headaches in children. The severity can be estimated, though, from answers to specific questions (eg, Can the child tolerate watching television or listening to music when he or she has a headache? Is participation in after-school activities limited by headaches? Is academic performance affected by headaches? How much school has the child missed because of headaches?).

Ease away tension headaches quickly and naturally
Tension headaches can make it difficult to concentrate, often sabotaging you when you need your focus the most.
All the advice about relaxing your shoulders and neck is all very well, but it can be extremely difficult to remember when you have a busy life.
How hypnosis can help
There are three main reasons hypnosis is so effective at curing tension headaches:
1) The deep relaxation lowers your blood pressure , easing any tension in and around your brain.
2) The levels of stress hormones in your system drop, returning you to your 'base level'.
3) Your concentration and memory improve so you don't have to push yourself so hard afterwards.

Sex Orgasms Cause Real Headaches for Some Unlucky Lovers Everyone loves sex – even those who can’t admit it. But for some people, sexual activity can be a real headache. It’s known as an “orgasmic headache”, and it can make “getting lucky” seem ironically unlucky. Thankfully, there may be a way to beat sex headaches, and the key appears to be hot peppers. Altamont, NY (PR Web) May 4, 2004 We’ve all heard of chronic migraine headaches, cluster headaches, sinus headaches, and even stress headaches, but have you ever heard of “sex headaches”? Although researchers say only a small percentage of the population experience sex headaches, there are an estimated half million Americans suffering from this affliction. Sex headaches come in two classes (harmless and serious).
The best known, and most common sex headache is the “benign coital headache” which tends to occur on a regular basis during or after sex. The “benign coital headache” is also commonly known as the “orgasmic headache”. This is a relatively harmless headache with no known long term effects. Sufferers describe this type of headache as “pulsating with a lot of pressure from the top of the head down toward the eyes”. Although this headache may be medically benign, it’s certainly a hardship for people who suffer from this condition.

    A. Introduction
    I have developed a simple food treatment method which I have found to be very useful in preventing headaches and drowsiness which I would otherwise experience from meat, fish, dairy foods, and problematic vegetables. Since this method is a fairly simple modification of a classic technique, a substantial percentage of food-intolerant people may find it to be effective. This Web site is distinctive among those in the category of food intolerances in that it provides a possible alternative to the avoidance diet that the traditional medical profession seems to accept without question.
    The active ingredient in my recipe is vinegar, a substance that has been suggested for general use in fighting headaches by advocates of non-traditional medicine. However, my recipe has several favorable features that collectively distinguish it from other vinegar-based headache remedies that I have encountered:
  • The concentration of vinegar used is so small that its taste isn't noticeable.

    You can get it from jogging, playing tennis or pumping iron at the gym. You're at greater risk if you box, scuba dive or play footy or soccer. It can even happen during sex. It's an exercise-related headache. It's mostly a benign problem that occurs on a regular basis in about one percent of the population. But if you're physically active then the chances are that you've had one. It's an unpredictable and very painful event, and needless to say - it can really put you off your game... This report by Dan Gaffney begins with the story of Robyn St Clare whose headache began when she started to spend more time in the gym lifting weights. Robyn St Clare: I wouldn't get the headache straight away. I'd usually work out in the morning and then the headache would come on early afternoon and get gradually worse towards the evening. They started to happen a few weeks after I'd started doing the exercises. I noticed a bit of muscle tension in my shoulders and then I'd start getting a kind of dull ache and it would get worse and worse and more intense. Usually on one side of my head behind my eye and further behind on my head, behind that eye. Dan Gaffney: You needn't run like Cathy Freeman or swim like Kieren Perkins to get an exercise head. Robyn St Clare is an active 30 year old who decided to tone up at the local gym. She learned how to properly use the equipment from a fitness trainer and she was conscious of warming up and warming down whenever she worked out.

    Headache
    Definition: A headache is pain or discomfort in the head, scalp, or neck. Most headaches are due to tension, migraine, or a combination of the two. Serious underlying causes of headaches, like a tumor or a stroke, are extremely rare, despite the fact that many people worry about these possibilities. Most people with headaches can feel much, much better by making lifestyle changes, including learning ways to relax, and occasionally by taking medications. See also tension headache cluster headache classic migraine headache , and common migraine headache
    Alternative Names: Pain - head
    Common Causes: Tension headaches are due to contraction (tightness) of the muscles in your shoulders, neck, scalp, and jaw. They are often related to stress, depression, or anxiety. Overworking, not getting enough sleep, missing meals, and using alcohol or street drugs can make you more susceptible to headaches. Foods that can trigger a headache include chocolate, cheese, and monosodium glutamate (MSG), a flavor enhancer. People who drink caffeine can have headaches when they don't get their usual daily amount. Other common reasons you may develop a tension headache include:
    • Performing an activity that causes you to hold your head in one position for a long time, like using a computer, microscope, or typewriter
