People with migraines should avoid provocative factors in the first place. And these are the triggers like stress, fatigue, lack of rest and sleep. But also inappropriate food or alcohol.

In women, mainly red wine.

Caution should also be exercised when using hormonal preparations. Even in the case of contraception or hormonal treatment. The main form of mild migraine is the choice of painkillers, ie paracetamol analgesics or a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug.

In some cases, another symptomatic treatment is required. In the case of severe migraines, drugs such as triptans or opioid analgesics, dopamine antagonists, are chosen.

In some cases, the pain may persist.

If the attack lasts more than 72 hours, it is a status of migraine.

If this type occurs, an examination to change the treatment is recommended. In severe cases, hospitalization is also possible, valproate or dihyroergotamine are administered intravenously.

Prophylactic treatment is chosen if the migraine is repeated frequently during the month and lasts for more than 24 hours. Groups of drugs such as 5-HT2 receptor inhibitors, beta-blockers, tricyclic antidepressants, Ca channel blockers are used.

The secondary medical school in Nitra gave me the basis for my career in the field of health and diseases. Thanks to it, I worked for 2 years in the traumatology clinic and outpatient clinic at the Nitra Hospital. Since 2006 I was employed in the emergency medical service, where I stayed until 2017. I completed my bachelor's degree at the University of Constantine the Philosopher in Nitra in the field of emergency health care. The bachelor's degree allowed me to continue my mission as a paramedic. In the meantime, I got a job at the emergency line 155. I have been working in pre-hospital health care until today. I had an interest in people, health and even diseases in my childhood, which gave me the prerequisite to pursue this topic in adulthood. Studying and acquiring new information in practice provided me with a great basis for writing professional texts, in the form of articles that can be understood by ordinary people. Thus, my interest in the Health Portal has a solid foundation in years of practice and personal interest. Similarly, I am also interested in healthy eating, nutrition and overall healthy lifestyle. I fill my free time with family and sports.
