Jaqueca

Intense headache, generally in a side, that usually is accompanied by nauseas, weakness and problems of vision.

Each episode can last from 2 to 48 hours.

It is commonest in women.

The headaches can have many causes, here we will be centered in the idiopáticos or without specific underlying cause.

Of between these (migraines in cluster, jaquecas and migrañas), by its frequency we will fit ourselves to these last ones.

Causes

The exact cause is not known.

It seems to be related to the mechanisms of cerebral neurtransmisión and the changes in the sanguineous flows.

There are leading mechanisms like:

Stress.

Oral contraceptives.

Menstruation.

Alcohol and certain foods (cheeses, chocolate, etc.).

Fatigue.

Hipoglucemia.

Signs and symptoms

Person varies of person to, but "dawn" exists that always precedes to the attack, in which the Vista, the sense of smell or hearing are affected, being the same one in each patient.

The pain settles down progressively and is intense in a side of the head.

It can cause nauseas and vomit.

Factors of risk

Diagnosis and treatment

Diagnosis

The diagnosis is clinical, after making analysis of cerebral blood and T.A.C., E.E.G., among others, to discard underlying causes.

To apply to a rag or ice at the top.

To rest in the dark in a room during several hours.

Ergotamina, aspirin, paracetamol and ibuprofeno.

In more severe cases codeine.

The antihistamine ones improve the expansion of the glasses.

The vasoconstrictores narrow the glasses.

The adrenérgicos drugs beta usually are beneficial in some individuals.

Recently antagonistic serotoninérgicos have been commercialized (a nervous messenger) that seem very effective for jugular an attack, but that, to the being very powerful, will have to be prescribed by the doctor.
