I am very proud of my programs. They have helped thousands and I have the client feedback to prove it. Recently, Ive read responses from clients concerning both my Vertigo and Dizziness program and my Migraine and Headache program. Even more recently, however, readers have written to me telling me that they suffer from migraine and vertigo at the same time.
Could the two be related? Research shows that its quite likely. For starters, 10-30% of the population experiences vertigo (women are 3 times as likely to report it), and vertigo simply means, dizziness.
This means that vertigo is generally a symptom of a larger medical issue, not always known. There are actually several causes but the most common type of vertigo is BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo). This is where one suddenly becomes dizzy just by moving ones head in a certain position. It is not, therefore such a surprise that MAV (Migraine Associated Vertigo) is a very real condition.
Some of the most common symptoms of MAV include-seeing colors, lights, spots, hearing voices, experiencing numbness and auras.
Vertigo associated with migraine is generally experienced right before the headache or during the headache. This can last for a few minutes to a day.
Many who suffer from vertigo, especially MAV, require several hours of rest to get rid of the vertigo. This is the one and only plus of already being in a dark quiet place to get rid of the migraine headache.
For some, only dizziness and an aura are felt, not a headache. Experts still consider this to be MAV, especially if an aura is experienced or the individual has suffered from migraines in the past.
There is no absolute test for MAV but your doctor can rule out other diseases with similar symptoms and track how you respond to therapy to make a proper diagnosis.
There are trigger foods like alcohol, chocolate, MSG and cheese which should be avoided if you suffer from migraine headaches.
Also heavily relied upon is prescription or over the counter medicine. These can sometimes be effective at preventing or combating the migraine, however, all medicines contain side effects, including a rebound headache in which the sufferer basically trades in one headache for another.
Like migraines, the cause for associated vertigo is also, as of yet, undefined. One theory that is becoming more accepted, though, that there is a disorder surrounding a gene responsible for the perception of pain which could account for migraines and the associated vertigo.
Many professionals (including me) also believe that the cause of migraine and vertigo is a lack of oxygen and blood flow to the brain. Likewise, MAV sufferers are basically having their brains suffocated and the ensuing pain and dizziness are the result.
Whether you suffer from migraine or MAV, I believe you will be helped by my Migraine and Headache Relief program. Additionally, if you only suffer from vertigo, please try my Vertigo and Dizziness program.
My programs are all natural and easy enough for anyone to do. These programs are designed to deliver oxygen to the brain in order for you to be headache and vertigo free!
