What is Migraine?
The enlargement and inflammation of the blood vessels or arteries in the brain lead to the release of certain chemicals from the nerve fibers that are coiled around these arteries. These chemicals cause severe vascular headache which is termed as Migraine headache or simply a Migraine. This is a chronic condition which means that it is long-term.
The chemicals thus produced can further cause enlargement and inflammation of the arteries and increase the intensity of the pain and headache. The sympathetic nervous system of the brain is often the affected part of Migraines. This is the system that enables primitive responses such as more commonly known fight or flight responses during the situations that cause stress and strain.
