Beware, Migraines Can Joined Stroke

Instead of frightening, sometimes a disease may occur following other diseases. Ironically, the symptoms are often so subtle that people do not suspect its existence.

The frequency of the headaches, it can be a big picture of risk of stroke and heart attack. Research in the United States in 2007 said, if we recur regularly migraine at least once a month, meaning the risk of heart attack rose to 50 percent higher. This compared with people who have never experienced a migraine at all.

In the meantime, if we stop a migraine once a week, the risk of stroke and heart attack immediately swooped up to 3 times. Thus described by Tobias Kurth, MD, researcher and assistant professor of Harvard Medical School.

According dr.Imam Nito, Sp.PD, a specialist in diseases of the RS Omni Pulomas, not all migraine be a sign of the risk of stroke and heart attack. More detail, the type associated with a stroke or heart attack is a functional migraine. Instead of such temporary migraine recurrence after basking in the sun.

What is meant by functional migraine headaches that are caused by one organ does not function well. For example, the supply of blood flow is not smooth because it is hampered by piles of cholesterol.

Protect yourself by avoiding migraine triggers, since, until now researchers have still not found the right way to prevent migraine headaches and functional temporary.

To prevent migraine-related functional risk of heart disease and stroke, we can apply the advice given by the National Stroke Association: Rutinlah exercise and dietary manage day-to-day, so that cholesterol levels stable and avoid obesity. In addition, stop smoking and limit consumption of beverages that also contain alcohol.
