Migraines

What are the signs of a migraine?

Regular or occasional migraines are a reality for many people, and they’re much more than your typical headache. Migraines typically involve throbbing pain on one side of your head, which occurs because of overactive nerve muscles within the blood vessels in your brain. 

Beyond head pain, the symptoms of a migraine itself can include:

• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Light sensitivity
• Sound sensitivity
• Chills
• Fatigue

These symptoms are often debilitating and can last for hours or even days. Even after these symptoms diminish, you might experience a migraine “hangover” involving mental fog and fatigue. 

What causes migraines?

The precise underlying cause of migraines is still unclear to experts, but they have some information on how the pain starts within the nerves and blood vessels of your brain. Many people with migraines find that the migraines often occur because of specific triggers. 

Some of the most common migraine triggers are:

• Substance use
• Too much or too little sleep
• Hangovers
• Stress
• Specific medications
• Hormone changes
• Barometric pressure or weather-related changes

Knowing your triggers may help you reduce the frequency of your migraines. 

What’s in a headache and migraine box treatment? 

Effective migraine relief can be difficult to find, but IV hydration is often a helpful solution. At Hydration Box, April can provide you with a specially formulated IV hydration box to combat headaches and migraines. It supplies you with:

Zofran (Ondansetron)

Zofran alleviates nausea and vomiting by blocking serotonin receptors in your brain, as nausea and vomiting often happen in response to heavy serotonin release in your gut. 

Benadryl® (Diphenhydramine)

Benadryl treats allergies and increased stress in the same way by blocking antihistamines, which are released in both instances. 

Toradol (Ketorolac)

Toradol, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), blocks hormones that cause inflammation to alleviate pain. 

Zinc Chloride

Some studies show a link between zinc deficiency and increased migraine frequency, which is why zinc chloride is an important addition to the headache box. 

Vitamin B complex

Vitamin B complex is a group of vitamins that support brain functioning and nerve health. 

Vitamin B12

Vitamin B12 supports many systems in your body and is crucial for producing energy. 

Amino acids

Various amino acids serve many purposes and are important for maintaining a healthy internal environment. 

Magnesium

Magnesium is involved with DNA production and many other processes to maintain your overall health. Low magnesium may be linked to triggering migraines.
