Migraña - Prevention

Nombres alternativos

Jaqueca

Prevención:

El hecho de conocer los desencadenantes del dolor de cabeza puede ayudarle a evitar los alimentos y situaciones que causan sus migrañas. Lleve un diario de los dolores de cabeza para ayudar a identificar la fuente o el desencadenante de los síntomas. Luego modifique su ambiente o hábitos para evitar dolores de cabeza futuros.

Otros consejos para prevenir las migrañas son:

  • Evitar el cigarrillo
  • Evitar el alcohol
  • Evitar los edulcorantes artificiales y otros desencadenantes relacionados con los alimentos
  • Hacer ejercicios regularmente
  • Dormir bien cada noche
  • Aprender a relajarse y a reducir el estrés: algunos pacientes han descubierto que la biorretroalimentación y la autohipnosis ayudan a reducir el número de ataques de migraña
