Society offers tips for people who suffer migrainesBy Jonathan Chin / Staff writer, with CNAPeople who get migraines should keep a record of their activities before an attack and avoid caffeine, the Taiwan Headache Society said. This is advised because each migraine episode increases the chance of migraines recurring and becoming a chronic condition, Chen said. Should a person’s migraine become resistant to oral medicine, preventive drugs that are administered via injection are an option, he said. SYMPTOMSPeople frequently confuse migraines with a severe headache or a symptom of another underlying condition, he said. Migraines are linked to depression, anxiety, insomnia and other health conditions that reduce a person’s life expectancy by four years, he added.
