AURAS - A WARNING SIGN FOR MIGRAINE

What is aura? Why do they exist?

Unfortunately scientists have not discovered exactly the causing factor for this type of symptoms. There are theories that it might be caused by a change in the chemical activities in the brain called cortical spreading depression.

This type of warning sign is experienced in 25-30% patients with migraine. It is a type of “sensory disturbances” affecting your largely vision.

Migraine sufferers reported seeing sparks, bright dots, zigzags, fuzzy images and can lasts from 5-60 minutes.

There are a few types of migraine auras:
- Vision disturbances - spots, flashes, zigzags, temporary losing sights. This type accounts for 90% of auras patients
- Sensory changes - experiencing tingling or numbness
- Speech or language problems

Exercise induced headaches are simply that, a headache brought on by, or occurring during/after, exercise. Commonly presenting as bilateral (on both sides) pain, a primary exercise headache is not caused by any underlying condition or disorder. These are more likely to occur in hot weather or when at altitude (American Migraine Foundation, 2023). Whilst their cause is unknown, it is theorised that exercise may dilate the blood vessels inside the skull, which leads to headache.

By comparison, a secondary exercise headache is one that is caused by an underlying condition. This may be inclusive of conditions such as a sinus or ear infection, tumour, other structural abnormalities or a brain bleed. As such, it is important to seek medical attention if you are suddenly experiencing headaches related specifically to exercise (Mayo Clinic, n.d.).

Though the word ‘sinus’ has a multitude of definitions, it is commonly used in reference to the air-filled spaces inside the bones of the forehead, cheeks, and behind the nose (Henson et al., 2021). When inflammation occurs within these sinuses (such as in hay fever or from an infection), it can cause an increase in mucus secretion, which can result in a blockage of the sinuses. This can result in mild to severe pain in the forehead, below the eyes, around the cheeks, behind the nose and even around the teeth! Sufferers of Sinus Headaches may also experience:

1. Runny nose or congestion during headache.
2. Watery eyes during headache.
3. Increased pressure or pain in sinuses.

Research suggests that headaches can be influenced by weather events because of atmospheric and barometric pressure changes (Friedman and De Ver Dye, 2009). Migraines may be triggered or intensified with pressure drops, indicating approaching storms. While the precise mechanisms remain unclear, pressure changes impact blood flow, inflammation, or neurotransmitter release in the brain.

Tension-type headaches can worsen during low-pressure periods due to altered blood flow, muscle tension changes, or variations in oxygen levels affecting brain function. Sinus-related headaches can also result from barometric pressure shifts affecting the sinuses.

Managing these headaches involves:
- staying hydrated
- maintaining a stress-reducing routine and,
- practicing relaxation techniques

With weather monitoring enabling proactive responses to impending pressure changes, adopting these lifestyle adjustments help mitigate atmospheric pressure's impact on headaches to enhance overall well-being.

In a recent study, Tu et al. (2020) highlighted the debilitating effects that migraines have on both an individual’s working and private life. It was predicted that, over the next 10 years, migraines would lead to a loss of 2,577,783 quality-adjusted life years and 384,740 productivity-adjusted life-years. Naturally, this leads to the question ‘what can be done to support those experiencing migraines at work?’

We recommend these top 6 strategies to help migraine sufferers tackle work:

1. Take breaks in between long hours of repetitive tasks such as using the computer.
2. Communicate with employers and colleagues about your condition and any adjustments at work that you may need.
3. Change positions frequently.
4. Ensure you have good lighting in your workplace.
5. Have adequate ventilation to reduce strong smells and scents.
6. Stay hydrated.

Vestibular migraine or BPPV?

Vestibular migraine symptoms is often very similar (or sometimes identical) to BPPV. Despite the similarities, there are aspects to differentially diagnose BPPV from vestibular migraines.

- the direction of the nystagmus
- the duration of the symptoms

In vestibular migraines, the direction of the eye beatings (nystagmus) are often atypical during positional testings. Meaning they do not go in a direction that is associated with any semi-circular canals of the inner ear) and can last as long as the patient stays in the position.

For patient with BPPV, positional treatments such as Epley manouvre can be beneficial and provide instant relief. However, it poses no effect to vestibular migraines patients.

If you are a sufferer or know someone who suffers from migraines, contact our headache clinicians for a careful assessment and early diagnosis of your condition.
