Answer to Question 1

In the past, it was believed the migraines were caused by narrowing followed by dilation of blood vessels. This idea is now being replaced by the idea that a wave of cerebral electrical activity may cause the aura (or warning sensation), and that headaches develop when the wave reaches pain-sensitive blood vessels. The wave may be triggered by stress, hunger, hormone fluctuations, foods, alcohol, too much sleep, caffeine withdrawal, or noise. It has recently been shown that the neurotransmitter serotonin becomes depleted in the brain during a migraine attack.

Did you know?

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
