Ever saw someone who says their head hurts like crazy? Ever saw someone screaming in pain shouting that their head is going to explode? Or perhaps have you seen someone just crying out in pain wishing he or she did not have a head? Well, those are classical signs that the person is experiencing what physicians and doctors might call a migraine. However, one must know that migraines have different classifications as well. And one of the most common and problematic kind is named as Hemiplegic Migraines.
Hemiplegic is derived mostly from the meaning of its root hemiplegic. Hemiplegic is a medical term which is used to denote partial or total paralysis/loss of function of one side of the body. One may experience that disease on either the left or right side of the body and never both. It is also vital to know that there are two subdivisions of hemiplegic migraines Familial Hemiplegic Migraine (FHM) and Sporadic Hemiplegic Migraine (SHM). The difference between the two is simple and straightforward. Both conditions affects one side of the body including the brain of course but in familial hemiplegic migraines, the family or the whole lineage has history of having this kind of migraine while in sporadic hemiplegic migraines, the condition is new and may not have affected one's ancestors.
Hemiplegic migraine symptoms include a variety of signs to watch out for. In familial hemiplegic migrains it is easy; one can just trace back his or her ancestors and see who has had the same conditions. This will most certainly prove that you have hemiplegic migraine in you. However, in sporadic hemiplegic migraines, it may be more challenging. The primary signs to watch out for and know are paralysis of the side of the body affected, epilepsy, and ataxia or in coordination of muscles, excruciating head aces pains, and meningitis which is the inflammation of the brain's covering. Nevertheless, the best option to take is to consult your doctor or veterinarian about this as he or she can diagnose the disease professionally and give you the appropriate treatment for this case.
Those are the prime hemiplegic migraine symptoms to know and remember for the benefit of everyone.
