1. Chronic Migraines
Chronic migraine is one of the most common types of migraines, and probably the most annoying one. People who constantly go through various migraine episodes repeatedly are its victims. If you have chronic migraine, you are most likely to get an episode for 10 days every month. Also, it starts commonly during teenage or early 20s.
However, you can reduce the symptoms of chronic migraine with some lifestyle changes. You will need to identify trigger foods and avoid them, do yoga, use essential oils, drink herbal teas, and take painkillers. 2. Hemiplegic Migraine
Hemiplegic migraine is rare and affects a very small percentage of people. However, it is extreme; it makes people paralyzed, or they feel weakness in one side of their body. Also, it can affect their speech and vision too. But the good news is that the paralysis is not permanent and goes away when the episode ends.
You can reduce the symptoms of Hemiplegic Migraine through diet changes, using the acupressure technique, yoga, and stress management. 3. Abdominal Migraine
Abdominal migraine usually targets children, and they might go through symptoms like nausea, vomiting, clumsiness, and flushing. Moreover, this type is usually genetic and affects children who have a family history of migraine.
The symptoms can be reduced by taking loads of fluids (without caffeine), taking NSAIDs, and avoiding processed food. 4. Menstrual Migraine
As the name implies, this type of migraine episode occurs when a woman is going through her menstrual cycle. These attacks are usually severe and last longer as compared to others. They can have severe headaches and other symptoms during or before their cycle starts.
You can use essential oils, prescription medications, supplements, and hot or cold compresses to reduce the symptoms. 5. Retinal Migraine
Retinal Migraine is a very rare type, but the most extreme out of them all. As the name suggests, it affects your eyesight and you can experience symptoms like repeated visual disturbances, blindspots, and complete blindness of one eye. These symptoms usually last for a minute before a severe headache starts.
You can reduce its symptoms by avoiding exposure to triggers like light, etc, and taking prescription medicines for pain and inflammation.
