The Migraine Hypotension Connection<\/h1>\n
\"Migraines<\/a>

Migraines and Clus\u00adter Headaches are the same. They occur when brain blood flow is dis\u00adrupt\u00aded from a stress trig\u00adger.<\/p><\/div>\n

Migraine-like symp\u00adtoms<\/a> fre\u00adquent\u00adly always present with reduced sys\u00adtolic blood pres\u00adsure<\/a> (below 105), or with a sud\u00adden rel\u00ada\u00adtive drop in blood pres\u00adsure pri\u00ador to the migraine onset. Although this con\u00adnec\u00adtion is weak\u00adly doc\u00adu\u00adment\u00aded in med\u00adical lit\u00ader\u00ada\u00adture, it is eas\u00adi\u00adly ver\u00adi\u00adfied.<\/p>\n

This mod\u00adel for migraine has the same cause as hypoten\u00adsion<\/a>.  Indi\u00advid\u00adu\u00adals with migraines often have a his\u00adto\u00adry of hypoten\u00adsion \u2014 that dis\u00adap\u00adpears as as arter\u00adies hard\u00aden.  See arte\u00adri\u00ado\u00adclero\u00adsis<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sev\u00ader\u00adal the\u00ado\u00adries describe migraine cause, Depo\u00adlar\u00adiza\u00adtion<\/a>, Vas\u00adcu\u00adlar<\/a>, Neur\u00adal<\/a> and Uni\u00adfy\u00ading<\/a>. Curi\u00adous\u00adly, none of these the\u00ado\u00adries sug\u00adgests that tis\u00adsue oxy\u00adgen depri\u00adva\u00adtion as a trig\u00adger or cause for migraine.<\/p>\n

Hypox\u00adia con\u00addi\u00adtions, relat\u00ading to cap\u00adil\u00adlary per\u00adfor\u00admance, and func\u00adtion\u00adal oxy\u00adgen deliv\u00adery, are ful\u00adly hid\u00adden in med\u00adical eval\u00adu\u00ada\u00adtion meth\u00adods, except in advanced cas\u00ades where the arter\u00adies are suf\u00adfi\u00adcient\u00adly degen\u00ader\u00adate and show occlu\u00adsion or aneurysm.<\/a><\/p>\n

A French study in 2007, using the Positron Emis\u00adsion Tomog\u00adra\u00adphy<\/a> (PET) tech\u00adnique iden\u00adti\u00adfied the hypo\u00adthal\u00ada\u00admus<\/a> as being crit\u00adi\u00adcal\u00adly involved in the ear\u00adly migraine stages.<\/p>\n

The hypo\u00adthal\u00ada\u00admus is a con\u00adtrol gland that con\u00adtrols blood pres\u00adsure. It can\u00adnot work well when it\u2019s blood sup\u00adply is com\u00adpro\u00admised.<\/p><\/div>\n

A dis\u00adabled hypo\u00adthal\u00ada\u00admus, con\u00adtrols blood flow<\/a>, both vic\u00adtim and cause of poor oxy\u00adgen dur\u00ading a migraine.<\/p>\n

The victim\/cause pat\u00adtern makes com\u00adpli\u00adcates recov\u00adery and explains why migraines tend to last a long time 4\u201372 hours.The depres\u00adsion wave mod\u00adel<\/a> results from the spread\u00ading hypox\u00adic dis\u00adtress of brain tis\u00adsue.<\/p>\n

We assert that the hypox\u00adic<\/a> (stress) trig\u00adgers a por\u00adtion of the brain to enter anaer\u00ado\u00adbic gly\u00adcol\u00ady\u00adsis<\/a> which caus\u00ades local aci\u00addo\u00adsis, which fur\u00adther inhibits the aer\u00ado\u00adbic metab\u00ado\u00adlism<\/a> of near\u00adby brain area, caus\u00ading expan\u00adsion of the dis\u00adtressed region.<\/p>\n

In sim\u00adple terms, a migraine is a brown-out that affects part of the brain \u2014 that grows.<\/p>\n

As the \u201cwave effect\u201d expands, more brain tis\u00adsue enters dis\u00adtress.  This mod\u00adel describes  migraine onset as trig\u00adgered by a blood-plas\u00adma desat\u00adu\u00adra\u00adtion event, from a tox\u00adin or oth\u00ader stress.<\/p>\n

This fail\u00adure caus\u00ades a drop in usable oxy\u00adgen deliv\u00adery to brain, direct\u00adly or by trig\u00adger\u00ading cap\u00adil\u00adlary swelling<\/a> in the brain, when cap\u00adil\u00adlar\u00adies bloat and nar\u00adrow due to cel\u00adlu\u00adlar sodi\u00adum accu\u00admu\u00adla\u00adtion.<\/p>\n

The drop below the migraine-trig\u00adger-thresh\u00adhold caus\u00ades a cas\u00adcade effect of dis\u00adtress process\u00ades includ\u00ading poten\u00adtial\u00adly neu\u00adro\u00adtrans\u00admit\u00adters, hor\u00admones, inflam\u00adma\u00adtion and so on, involv\u00ading the hypo\u00adthal\u00ada\u00admus gland, which in turn con\u00adtrols blood pres\u00adsure.<\/p>\n

This net\u00adwork of fac\u00adtors rein\u00adforces the dis\u00adtress pat\u00adtern, which enables migraines to per\u00adsist for days.<\/p>\n

Both Man\u00adfred von Ardenne<\/a> and Dr. Emanuel Revi\u00adci<\/a> devel\u00adoped meth\u00adods that reduce the sever\u00adi\u00adty and inci\u00addence of migraines, though dif\u00adfer\u00adent, but com\u00adple\u00admen\u00adtary mech\u00ada\u00adnisms:<\/p>\n
