Headaches and Migraines.
Headaches and migraines are symptoms that many people learn to deal with on a daily basis and often don’t report to their doctors. Most people experience occasional headaches as it’s so easy to forget our essentials, like enough water for proper hydration and a balanced diet for our blood sugar levels. However, do you feel like you’re hitting all of those intake requirements and still suffering with ongoing headaches, or migraines? Do you notice other symptoms when experiencing these episodes such as nausea or visual changes?
Research has shown that while 14% of people who suffer with headaches are correctly diagnosed, 33% are misdiagnosed and 53% remain undiagnosed. This shows that 86% of headaches are being poorly managed. Further research shows that 14% of the population suffer with migraines, with a 2:1 ratio of these suffers being female. With ongoing fluctuations in hormones due to menstruation, pregnancy and the menopause, women are more likely to suffer with hormone-related migraines. Women’s health is a particular interest to us here at Mulberry Wellbeing. No matter if you’ve tried many approaches to help relieve your headache or this is your first-time seeking treatment, we are here to listen to your story and discuss lifestyle and treatment strategies.
