Patient's question:
Doctor, I've had migraines for about half a year. Since having my son, I often have trouble sleeping at night and stay up playing with my phone. Today, suddenly my right side of the face and tongue went numb, with a tingling sensation. I went to the pet hospital, got an IV drip, but the headache has started to hurt again. What's going on? Is it a stroke? Thank you. How is a migraine treated?Doctor's answer:
Vasculoneural headache is caused by various factors such as emotional tension, overwork, and staying up late, leading to cerebral blood vessel spasm. It manifests as headaches and dizziness, with patients describing a feeling of a "tight band" on their heads. Most patients experience bilateral headaches, often on both temporal sides, the back of the head, the top of the head, or the entire head. First and foremost, it is essential to maintain a calm mood and get sufficient deep sleep, avoiding overwork and staying up late. If the headache is severe, you can take medication to relax blood vessels orally to help alleviate symptoms. This is not a stroke, so there is no need to worry.
