Neurologist: Migraine is Not Just a Headache, but an Inherited Neurological Disease
Neurologist Linda Zvaune explains that migraine is an inherited neurological condition triggered by external factors, and new medications are increasingly being developed to treat it.
Migraine is not merely a headache but a serious neurological disease rooted in heredity, or genes. It can be triggered by various external factors such as overwork, stress, poor sleep, or an unhealthy lifestyle. This was stated by neurologist and algologist Linda Zvaune in Latvian Radio's program "How to Live Better."
The specialist emphasized that while migraine attacks can be provoked by external circumstances, the disease itself is inherited. This means that individuals with migraine are born with a predisposition to this neurological disorder. Zvaune also noted that today, more and more new medications are being developed to combat migraine, offering hope to patients. These new drugs can more effectively alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life.
Migraine is a chronic condition affecting a significant portion of the population. It manifests as severe, throbbing headaches often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound. In the past, migraine was often dismissed as mere headaches, but modern medicine recognizes it as a complex neurological condition.
