A typical headache next to a migraine can last for several hours or even several days. What is the danger? How to handle it?
A headache of more than 72 hours signifies migranosus status
Migraine is one type of headache that can cause nausea and vomiting and visual disturbances such as sensitivity to light, the presence of zig zag lines in the eyes, seeing like dots or stars, blurred vision before a migraine occurs. In addition, it can be characterized by the appearance of a strange sensation in the sense of smell and hearing, such as hearing sounds in the ear or smells strange. This is called migraine aura.
Symptoms of migraines can be mild to severe. If the complaint of headache is more than 72 hours, even after resting and taking medication, this is a symptom of migranosus status. Migranosus status can also occur when you do not get immediate treatment when an aura appears, do not get appropriate treatment, or overuse headache medications.
Symptoms of migranosus status
Most headache cases that occur more than 72 hours do not cause typical symptoms, or resemble the symptoms of normal migraines but last longer.
Not everyone experiences the same symptoms (symptoms can appear partially or completely), possible symptoms will occur, such as:
- Change of consciousness. A person with migraine may experience difficulty in concentration, feel confused, sleepy, and have difficulty communicating.
- The appearance of the aura. Someone who feels aura, usually will experience changes in vision and other senses.
- Headache. The pain can occur on one side of the head and can spread to the other side of the head.
- Appetite decreases and causes dehydration so that the electrolytes in the body become unbalanced.
- Tingling sensation can occur in the arms, hands or legs.
Triggers the emergence of migranosus status
Many triggers can cause migraines, such as too strong perfumes, allergies, stress, or fatigue. The possibility of developing ordinary migraines into migranosus status occurs including:
- Hormone imbalance
- Changes in the weather
- Have had surgery on the head or face
- There is a wound on the neck or head
- Changes in treatment, for example antidepressant drugs or birth control pills.
How is the status of migranosus diagnosed?
There is no one health test specifically used to detect migraines. Therefore, doctors will usually give a diagnosis through questions about the symptoms experienced by the patient. The patient's medical history and neurological work test or MRI may be done to detect other diseases that are causing migraines.
Treatment and prevention for migranosus status
Reporting from Medical News Today, there are no drugs that can cure migraines. However, treatment will be focused on reducing the symptoms that appear so as not to continue to get worse. Some drugs are used such as:
- Steroid drugs to prevent inflammation, such as prednisone
- Anti-nausea drugs to reduce nausea, dizziness, and confusion, such as chlorpromazine, benadryl, and suppositories if the condition of vomiting is severe.
- Anticonvulsant drugs to treat tingling in body parts
- The remedy for dehydration if the liquid balance deteriorates
In order for you to avoid headaches more than 72 hours, drink lots of water, consume foods that can relieve headaches and always apply a good sleep pattern. If migraine symptoms appear, take medication immediately to prevent symptoms from getting worse.
