偏头痛是一种强烈的头痛,特征为感觉头部一侧悸动疼痛。它通常伴有恶心、呕吐及对光和声音极度敏感1。偏头痛发作可持续数小时至数天。
偏头痛的原因2:
偏头痛的确切原因尚不清楚。遗传和环境因素疑似其中的重要导因。有些人也会发现个人偏头痛的发作与某些触发因素有关,包括:
- 女性荷尔蒙的变化。雌激素的波动,例如在月经期之前或期间、怀孕和更年期
- 压力
- 某些食物和饮料,例如奶酪、酒精和味精 (MSG)
- 嘈杂的声音、明亮的灯光、强烈的气味等感觉
应对方法
在偏头痛发作期间,尝试前往安静、黑暗的房间休息。将一块凉爽的布放在额头上,并补充足够水分。记录头痛日记将帮助您更清楚地了解引发偏头痛的原因,从源头避免偏头痛的发作。保持健康的生活方式,包括定期锻炼、足够的睡眠、健康的饮食习惯,以及学习管理压力都有助于减少偏头痛发作的次数。
研究发现一些保健品可以帮助预防偏头痛。维生素 B2 (Vitamin B2)和辅酶 Q10 (coenzyme Q10) 都具有抗氧化特性,可有助于减少偏头痛的发作4。
偏头痛的发作使到患者感到非常不适,更影响日常生活作息。清楚了解个人偏头痛的触发因素能够有效避免偏头痛的发生。请谨记,在服用任何药物或保健品之前,务必咨询您的药剂师或医生。若有任何疑问,可浏览康宁药剂的网页或使用康宁手机应用程序询问我们的药剂师。
