Pressure

 New Year, First gift, BP Monitor.

To remind - Health is the first of life. 

What a way to begin the year.

After the rituals, visiting aunt, and then checking pressure which turned out to be high...No wonder, was cranky.

Pressure is the force applied perpendicular to the surface of an object per unit area over which that force is distributed. Poor diet, lack of exercise and certain lifestyle factors can affect blood pressure pattern, including: Night-shift work. Smoking. Overweight or obesity.

Migraine like pain. But no vomiting or nausia, had one side severe headache, aversion to light, sound. 

Learning about migraine disorder can be intimidating.

A migraine is a headache that can cause severe throbbing pain or a pulsing sensation, usually on one side of the head. It's often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and extreme sensitivity to light and sound. Migraine attacks can last for hours to days, and the pain can be so bad that it interferes with your daily activities.

For some people, a warning symptom known as an aura occurs before or with the headache. An aura can include visual disturbances, such as flashes of light or blind spots, or other disturbances, such as tingling on one side of the face or in an arm or leg and difficulty speaking.

Medications can help prevent some migraines and make them less painful. The right medicines, combined with self-help remedies and lifestyle changes, might help.

Migraine triggers

There are a number of migraine triggers, including:

Hormonal changes in women. Fluctuations in estrogen, such as before or during menstrual periods, pregnancy and menopause, seem to trigger headaches in many women.

Hormonal medications, such as oral contraceptives, also can worsen migraines. Some women, however, find that their migraines occur less often when taking these medications.

Drinks. These include alcohol, especially wine, and too much caffeine, such as coffee.

Stress. Stress at work or home can cause migraines.

Sensory stimuli. Bright or flashing lights can induce migraines, as can loud sounds. Strong smells — such as perfume, paint thinner, secondhand smoke and others — trigger migraines in some people.

Sleep changes. Missing sleep or getting too much sleep can trigger migraines in some people.

Physical strain. Intense physical exertion, including sexual activity, might provoke migraines.

Weather changes. A change of weather or barometric pressure can prompt a migraine.

Medications. Oral contraceptives and vasodilators, such as nitroglycerin, can aggravate migraines.

Foods. Aged cheeses and salty and processed foods might trigger migraines. So might skipping meals.

Food additives. These include the sweetener aspartame and the preservative monosodium glutamate (MSG), found in many foods.

Remember:
