Had a migraine just before i left home. My worst nightmare! My migraine appears once in a blue moon. But when it comes, is not friendly; i cannot stand up as i feel like throwing up, i need to lie down. The moment i lift my head, i feel like vomiting.
Felt bad not able to compete at Regatta. Let the team and coach and myself down. After i felt better i decided to take a cab down. They did well and it was a close fight.
I have researched on migraine and discovered so many kind of migraine.
Migraine without aura is the most prevalent type and may occur on one or both sides (bilateral) of the head. Tiredness or mood changes may be experienced the day before the headache. Nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light (photophobia) often accompany migraine without aura. This is exactly what i am suffering.
Basic Facts of Migraine:
A migraine is a very painful type of headache. People who get migraines often describe the pain as pulsing or throbbing in one area of the head. During migraines, people are very sensitive to light and sound. They may also become nauseated and vomit.(that's me)
Migraine is three times more common in women than in men. Some people can tell when they are about to have a migraine because they see flashing lights or zigzag lines or they temporarily lose their vision.
Many things can trigger a migraine. These include
Anxiety(not me)
Stress(not me)
Lack of food or sleep(not me)
Exposure to light ( rowing under the sun)
Hormonal changes (in women) ( Definitely NOT ME )
