During the mid-life phenomenon known as menopause, changes in
headache type, duration and intensity are more common.
Throbbing, explosive headaches can pain the sides of your head,
and your energy become totally depleted. The slightest opening
of an eye can cause a ripple of pain to burst on one side of
your fragile head, leaving you in physical ruin. Menopause is
known to heighten such uncomfortable, sometimes unbearable
symptoms.
Menopause and headache changes, specifically, migraine
headaches cause a repetitive stronger-than-normal headache that
resides on one side of your head. During menopause, a woman's
hormone system goes awry in part because estrogen is not being
produced at normal rates.
Most women nearing the end of a menstrual lifecycle discover
that their progesterone levels can become significantly
decreased and cause symptoms such as headaches they never had
before, or worsen ones they have. During menopause, other
things like foods such as cheese, avocado, nuts, meat
tenderizers, and chocolate have been known to bring on a
migraine. Other factors a woman must look for are certain
medications including oral contraceptives, changes in weather,
fatigue, and alcoholic beverages.
During these headache changes, blood vessel walls in the brain
widen and narrow quickly, causing pain nerves to overreact and
stimulate pain. The throbbing feeling in the head is because
of this bodily reaction. During menopause, signals that a
migraine is coming can be frequent.
Some women get a warning; their eye sight may suddenly change,
or bright spots or zig zag lines are seen. They report
experiencing double vision, and in some cases temporary, partial
blindness. Sometimes these changes may be followed by numbness
and tingling of the lips, face hands, weakness of an arm or le
You need to pay attention to symptoms such as dizziness, extreme

intensity of the headache can build until you have a full-force,
throbbing headache that typically impacts one side of your head.
There are also migraines that occur immediately.
These are quite common and women report that these headaches can

severe cases, migraines can cause vomiting and extreme
sensitivity to light and noise.
If you want a quick fix to migraine headaches, a technique that
helps some women is breathing into a paper bag. Inhaling and
exhaling out of a paper bag can restore carbon dioxide intake
and eliminate or lessen the effects of brought on by anxiety
attacks. Using an ice cold pack and sometimes applying heat to
the area can help.
Try staying in a darkened room and lying still as this can bring
relief once a migraine has hit. Lying down provides relaxation
which is critical to lessening the pain. If you know yoga, this
is a good time to practice it. Also, take slow, depth breaths
into the abdomen letting your attention watch your naval rise
and fall (which calms the mind).
Some women benefit from evening primrose oil, progesterone cream
and dandelion tea to detoxify the liver. Of course there are
some women with symptoms so severe they need drugs such as
imitrex. That's where you need to follow your doctor's advice.
