Migraine Report
Report One
I have been a long time sufferer of migraines and I never knew what the cause of my migraines was. I was on a prescription for a while for my migraines but having to take a pill every single day is a real hassle. People who are migraine sufferer’s can relate to the fact that they are not pleasant and tend to ruin your whole day. If one were able to know what the cause of their migraines was, no one would have to worry about being in the middle of an important task and not be able to finish what they are doing because a migraine was starting to affect them. I wanted some answers so I read an article on “how to halt migraines without being on prescription drugs.” In this article it talked most specifically about your diet. …show more content…
There are certain foods that could potentially lead to a migraine. One of the first things to do to eliminate migraine-causing factors would be to slowly eliminate certain food items in your diet along with drinking plenty of water. Also, limiting the consumption of salt (MSG) is said, in the article, to reduce the risk and intensity of the migraine.
Another thing stressed in the article is to make sure to take vitamins such as magnesium. While have a deficiency is becoming more and more common, such deficiency could be potentially disastrous to a person who suffers from migraines. One last thing stressed in this article was to go get your chemical balance checked. This is an important step especially for women. Bodies can be so complex that you can’t just assume things. Even if you don’t believe your not balanced it doesn’t hurt to go get your chemical balance checked if nothing else is seeming to stop your migraines. This article relates to my practice as a nursing assistant for many reasons. Migraines are very common and some of the patients/residents/clients that I will be working with could potentially be a person who has frequent migraines. As a nursing assistant I would be the first one to witness these reoccurring migraines and would bring it up to the Nurse. From there I could tell the nurse my experience with migraines and some of the ways this article says to help eliminate migraines. Even though I am not one to initiate the order of what happens to the patient, I can use this information that I learned and help the doctor and nurse come up with a plan that I think could be one that would
potentially work for that specific patient.
