Migrain

Teringat zaman sekolah dulu, seminggu sekali mesti akan kena migrain. So hampir setiap minggu ada sahaja hari yang ponteng sekolah. Hehehe...

Bila masuk ke universiti, di awal sewaktu Asasi, doktor pusat perubatan pelajar UM bagitau yang faktor migrain ini adalah disebabkan darah pekat dalam badan. So saya diminta untuk banyakkan minum air kosong untuk menurunkan kepekatan darah.

Selain daripada itu, ada seorang maulana juga ajar saya untuk jaga zikir dan bacaan al-Quran bagi tujuan mencapai ketenangan dan tidak menekan diri.

Alhamdulillah, hingga kini saya sangat menjaga sumber air minuman, dan migrain dah jarang-jarang berlaku hasil daripada asbab amalan dan minuman tersebut. Namun kadangkala menyinggah juga sekali dalam 2-3 bulan.

Cuma 2 hari nih berturut migrain menyinggah... sekali waktu petang semalam (hari Khamis) dan malam tadi (Jumaat). Kepala jadi sangat berat dan badan dipaksa untuk tidur sebentar untuk hilangkan sakit kepala

Wiki tentang migrain:

Migraine is a neurological syndrome characterized by altered bodily experiences, painful headaches, and nausea. It is a common condition which affects women more frequently than men.

The typical migraine headache is one-sided and pulsating, lasting 4 to 72 hours. Accompanying complaints are nausea and vomiting, and a heightened sensitivity to bright lights (photophobia) and noise (hyperacusis). Approximately one third of people who experience migraines get a preceding aura, in which a patient may sense a strange light or unpleasant smell. Patients often describe triggers they feel precipitate an episode of migraine, such as certain foods and beverages (like chocolate or alcohol), stress or menstruation. In some migraine types there are typical features but the headache remains absent, and in children abdominal pain may be a prominent feature.

Although the exact cause of migraine remains unknown, the most widespread theory is that it is a disorder of the serotonergic control system. Recently, PET scans have demonstrated the aura to coincide with spreading cortical depression after an episode of greatly increased blood flow (up to 300% higher than baseline). There also appear to be migraine variants that originate in the brainstem and involve dysfunction in calcium and potassium ion transport between cell membranes. Genetic factors may also contribute. Studies on twins show that genes have a 60 to 65% influence on the development of migraine. Fluctuating hormone levels show a relation to migraine in several ways: three quarters of adult migraine patients are female while migraine affects approximately equal numbers of boys and girls before puberty,[citation needed] and migraine is known to disappear during pregnancy in a substantial number of sufferers.

The treatment of migraine begins with simple painkillers for headache and anti-emetics for nausea, and avoidance of triggers if present. Specific anti-migraine drugs can be used to treat migraine. If the condition is severe and frequent enough, preventative drugs might be considered.

The word migraine is French in origin and comes from the Greek hemicrania, as does the Old English term megrim. Literally, hemicrania means "half (the) head".

Setiap apa yang berlaku adalah ujian Allah...
Mungkin tanda Allah masih ingat kat kita.

Punca dikenalpasti kenapa boleh migrain dua hari ni: terlalu banyak berfikir untuk menyelesaikan masalah satu demi satu yang menimpa

Sayangnya masalah dan ujian yang dihadapi adalah tentang dunia yang sementara... huhuu....
