OverviewHeadache and migraine are one of the most common problems seen in doctors' surgeries and emergency departments, and are a leading cause of absenteeism at work and school. Migraine attacks may include a range of manifestations such as nausea, vomiting and hallucinations, and may be so uncomfortable as to bring life to a halt. Headaches are usually less severe and more localised. There are a number of causes and triggers including lifestyle, diet, stress, and hormonal fluctuations. In the past, migraine was something you just had to 'put up with' and today many people do just still struggle on as best they can, or cope by drawing the curtains and going to bed. Nowadays, however, much can be done to manage and prevent migraine and other headaches, and this book explores these options. Topics include: • Migraine and other types of headache • Triggers and threshold; illness-related; genetic; stress, posture, environmental etc. • Keeping a headache diary • Women and migraine/headache • Help from your doctor; medications; specialist care; migraine clinics; investigating headache further (i.e. scans) • Diet and lifestyle Full Product DetailsAuthor: Alison FrithPublisher: John Murray Press Imprint: Sheldon Press Dimensions: Width: 13.40cm , Height: 1.80cm , Length: 21.40cm Weight: 0.196kg ISBN: 9781847094117ISBN 10: 1847094112 Pages: 192 Publication Date: 21 April 2016 Audience: General/trade , College/higher education , Professional and scholarly , General , Tertiary & Higher Education Format: Paperback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: In Print  This item will be ordered in for you from one of our suppliers.
