  2. Simple Headache or Migraine If you're suffering from a headache, you probably don't know how to figure out whether it's a migraine or a different type of ailment. Fortunately, you can do some simple tests at home to help determine the condition. These tests will decide whether you have a headache or migraine. If there is a possibility of some other ailment, our sleep center in Naperville will provide a better understanding of which treatment options you can seek.

  3. Migraine Diagnosis A correct migraine diagnosis requires a comprehensive assessment of the patient's medical history and the severity of their headache. The most common form of treatment for a migraine is a combination of relaxation techniques and painkillers. While this may not cure your migraine, it can certainly help you manage and reduce the frequency of attacks.

  4. Causes of Migraine For many people, the headache is caused by a variety of factors, but the actual source may not be in the head. It can be triggered by certain conditions, like certain types of light, changing weather conditions, and even some medications. There is a strong connection between migraine and sleep apnea, and both disorders are common in the general population. As a result, our TMJ specialist in Illinoisbelieves that addressing the cause of sleep disturbances is important for curing migraines.

  5. Phases of Migraine Migraine Symptoms • Hemiplegic • Atypical • Prodrome • Postdrome • Mild Headache • Nausea • Audio Visual Sensitivity • Food Cravings

  6. Conclusion Sleep apnea and migraine headaches are different types of conditions. Migraines usually occur during the days and may be accompanied by other symptoms such as light sensitivity. Sleep apnea usually works during sleep, but the resultant fatigue can be a migraine trigger for many. Also, these headaches can be a significant source of exhaustion for those who suffer from migraines regularly and must be addressed immediately.
