Is yawning a warning sign of ‘this disease’?

Yawning is a natural phenomenon that occurs when you are sleepy or tired. However, if you yawn frequently and experience nausea even after getting enough sleep, it could be due to a migraine. Let's look into the symptoms and prevention methods of migraines.

 

◇Migraines occur in various situations Migraines are pains that occur in a specific part of the head in paroxysmal and periodic episodes. The situations in which migraines are triggered vary from person to person. They can occur in various situations, such as when exercising, riding in a car, after menstruation, or after eating cheese, chocolate, or drinking coffee; they can also be triggered in specific situations, such as smelling strong perfume, looking at bright lights, or being exposed to noise for a long period.

Situations in which you may suspect a migraine include: ▲ experiencing warning signs such as fatigue or nausea when exposed to specific situations; ▲ having a throbbing pain in one part of the head; ▲ having a headache when experiencing indigestion; ▲ being sensitive to sounds, smells, or light; and ▲ having a family member with a migraine.

 

◇ Migraine 'warning symptoms' such as yawning and vomiting exist Migraines are not simply headaches; their symptoms vary widely. Most migraines in adults are "migraines without aura." The headache develops after various symptoms occur, such as fatigue, lethargy, nausea, vomiting, difficulty concentrating, muscle stiffness, thirst, and abdominal pain, often accompanied by yawning. In some cases, the headache does not appear immediately but develops up to two days after experiencing warning symptoms, leading people to dismiss it as simple overwork, stress, or indigestion.

 

If neurological symptoms such as black spots in the field of vision, flashes of light, or motor or sensory disturbances appear following warning signs, it is a 'migraine with aura.' Neurological symptoms persist for tens of minutes, followed by a headache within an hour. In the case of childhood periodic migraines, only warning signs appear, without a headache. If a child experiences motion sickness whenever riding in a car or frequently complains of abdominal pain or dizziness, it could be a migraine. In most cases, these symptoms disappear around the time they enter middle school, but from then on, they suffer from periodic headaches.

 

◇ Lifestyle habits must be improved

 

To avoid migraines, it is important to eliminate triggers. First, identify the situations in which you experience migraines and avoid them. If it is difficult to avoid triggers and you experience migraines more than twice a week, you should consult a doctor and take medication. Many people purchase and take over-the-counter painkillers from pharmacies for headaches, but caution is advised as taking medication too frequently (more than two days a week) can actually worsen symptoms. Some ingredients in painkillers can trigger headaches. Adopting lifestyle habits that stabilize the nerves, such as stretching, getting enough sleep, meditating, and engaging in light exercise, also helps alleviate migraines.
