However, This Does Not Mean That Binge-Watching An Entire Series At Night And Sleeping 2 Hours Will Not Have Health Consequences    

Sometimes one might get hooked up with a series, watching it until very late at night. Binge-watching will lead to a night of poor sleeping, which will probably result in a morning headache. Researchers have related poor sleeping or fragmented sleep with migraines. However, according to recent studies, sleep fragmentation is more likely to cause headaches, more than poor sleep. Even though there is no clear explanation, scientists believe that it might be related to an area in the brain called the hypothalamus, which controls hormone release and body temperature. Also, according to experts, less than six hours of sleep can increase the risk for other health issues, such as cardiovascular disease, obesity, stroke, and diabetes, among others.

Strong Morning Headaches Can Be A Symptom Of A Serious Condition, Such A Brain Tumor    

It Can Also Be Caused By Sleep Apnea Or High Blood Pressure    

Strong morning headaches usually occur as a result of a hangover. However, it can also be caused by other or other health conditions, which include sleep apnea, due to poor blood oxygenation in the brain or high blood pressure, because of the excess effort on the cardiovascular system. However, it can be a warning symptom for a more serious condition, such as a brain tumor. Treatments vary because the type of tumor can vary, depending on the type, size, and location. Other symptoms are behavior changes, nausea, vomiting, and balancing difficulties, among others. There can be general symptoms referred to the pressure of the tumor on the brain or the stem. However, there are also specific symptoms caused by the brain areas that are affected by the tumor. Diagnosis occurs when a patient visits a doctor complaining of headaches and other symptoms mentioned before, and it is most common among children and adults. Among the causes is exposure to certain products such as pesticides and rubber, genetic factors, exposure to electromagnetic fields, and serious head injuries or head traumas, among others.

A study has found that cannabis can reduce the severity of migraine symptoms by 50% and eventually prevent the excruciating headaches. Another study has found that almost 90% of patients have a decrease in headache intensity and, more than half experienced a decrease in headache frequency after cannabis treatment. Also, almost 40% found that they had better sleep. Additionally, 50% of patients using opioid medications for chronic pain lowered the frequency of usage. Cannabis decreases migraine by affecting the endocannabinoid system, which can reduce migraine via naturally produced cannabinoids, and also decreases the inflammation in the protective dura mater, which is a tissue that covers the brain. Cannabis also and reduces the release of the inflammatory substances that cause migraines. Additional details click here.

Identifying The Conditions That Can Develop A Chronic Migraine    

Among Them Are Depression, Frequency Of Attacks, And Medication Overuse    

A study has identified several conditions that can worsen migraines. One of them is depression, which increases the risk of converting a migraine into a chronic condition in more than 50%. Another condition is the frequency of attacks. In this case, more than 5 attacks per month increase the risk by 3, while more than 10 arracks will increase the risk almost 6 times. Additionally, medication overuse increases the risk of chronic migraine by almost nine, and Allodynia, a sensory disorder which increases sensitivity and painful sensations, the risk of developing chronic migraine increases by 40%. This is a condition in which normal stimuli, such as touch, can result in painful sensations. Other condition is not physiological but based on personal income. An income greater than $50K decreases the chances of turning migraine into a chronic condition by 35%, due to access to better information and treatments. Click here for more information.

New Handheld Device For Vestibular Migraine Treatment    

It Stimulates The Vagus Nerve, Based On A Similar Treatment For Vertigo And Epilepsy    

There is a condition called vestibular migraine. According to statistics, 15% of the world's population suffers from migraines, which can be moderate to severe headaches. Minor or moderate migraine can be confused with frequent headaches and not diagnosed. It also can be related to neurological issues, such as light sensitivity, nausea, dizziness, and disordered speech. In the case of vestibular migraine, the symptoms are vertigo and dizziness, including the sensation that everything is spinning over. Up to now, the causes have not been identified, and there is no clear treatment. However, researchers have devised a new treatment, consisting of a new a small handheld device that is placed over the neck, sending a short electrical impulse to activate the vagus nerve, which is a long nerve that goes from the brainstem through the neck, and is responsible for regulating all the organs in the body, including heart rate, intestinal movements, and mood. This treatment is being used for epilepsy and depression and may treat migraine headaches, and also vertigo not related to migraine. More info click here.

The Worst Hangovers Are From Prosecco, According To Experts    

It Contains Tiny Carbon Dioxide Bubbles That Increase The Absorption Rate Of Alcohol    

According to experts, the worst hangover is caused by a drink called Prosecco. It is similar to champagne, which includes carbon dioxide bubbles in the liquid. These flow into the bloodstream, and increase the effects of alcohol, due to its higher absorption rate, and because CO2 competes with oxygen in the bloodstream. As a consequence, people get lightheaded and get quickly drunk, and the hangover is worse than with other drinks. It can be avoided drinking a glass of water after every glass of Prosecco in order to decrease dehydration and also drink it slowly. Additionally, avoid drinking meet with an empty stomach.

Hangover Is The Reaction Of The Body To Excess Blood Alcohol    

It Is Caused By Harmful Substances In The Blood And Will Last Until These Are Eliminated    

It is normal to experience a hangover after a night of heavy drinking. Excess alcohol causes an inflammatory reaction in the body, which, besides the headache, causes vertigo, nausea, and fatigue. The alcohol in the blood forms harmful oxygen radicals, which can damage the DNA, acetaldehyde, which is transformed into acetate, which is less harmful, and ethanol, which must be eliminated as part of a natural process. Hangover symptoms will still be present while there is still ethanol in the blood. There is a reaction in the digestive system, as it tries to absorb the alcohol, and in the liver, which must process it. Kidneys also work in excess to clean it, causing frequent urination and dehydration. Alcohol also affects neurotransmitters, such as serotonin, glutamate, and dopamine, and there is also excess fatigue caused by sleep deprivation. Also, there are psychological responses caused by fatigue and hormonal stress, which affect behavior. The effects of excessive drinking cannot be avoided, but a glass of water between drinks will help mitigate the harmful effects while the body repairs itself. Click here for more info.

New Device Treats Acute Migraine Using Electrical Modulation    

It Is Worn In The Forearm And Sends Signals To The Brain To Mitigate Pain Response    

Acute migraine can be treated by a wearable device connected to a smartphone via Bluetooth, that is not designed for acute treatment of migraine. It is considered by Time as one of the best inventions of 2019. It provides a migraine treatment by combining a neuromodulation therapy and wireless technology. The idea is to provide a drug-free treatment for this chronic migraine. It uses electrical impulses for treating acute migraine. The device is placed on the upper arm and sends and electric modulation response to mitigate pain. The app also keeps track of migraine episodes and stimulates the brain for a response to pain.
