Migraine and ischemia

A large-scale study was conducted in America, which combined data from more than two dozen local studies examining the links between migraine and ischemic stroke.

Thus, it has been proven that this connection does exist, since the presence of migraines almost certainly indicates a high probability of developing coronary disease, including ischemic stroke.

So far, scientists have not come to a consensus on which of these two disorders is the cause and which is the effect. Moreover, the combined study suggested that both diseases are caused by a common pathology.

In general, experts recommend that people suffering from migraines monitor their own health and minimize the risks, which include smoking, hypertension and diabetes. That is, blood pressure and sugar levels must be kept within the normal range, as for bad habits, it is best to give them up.

Migraines can be caused by painkillers

This is the conclusion reached by Swedish researchers from Gothenburg. In their opinion, one of the most common causes of chronic migraines may be ... painkillers that are sold without a doctor's prescription.

It is known that any medications should be taken solely according to indications and after consulting a doctor. However, today many people not only do not consult with specialists, taking the usual painkillers, but also abuse them. As a result, the drugs not only stop helping, but also become a source of more serious problems.

As a rule, people who constantly use painkillers suffer from chronic migraines. Experts warn that taking painkillers for more than ten days a month can lead to the development of chronic migraines, which are subsequently extremely difficult to treat.

Mycoplasmosis is diagnosed more often in Belarus

Specialists of the Republican Center for Hygiene, Epidemiology and Public Health note that the number of cases of microsporia (dermatomycosis) is still not decreasing in Belarus. About four thousand of our compatriots are diagnosed with this disease every year. Stray animals are carriers of microsporia, but the danger can also lie in wait at home, especially if pets walk in the same place as stray dogs and cats.
However, microsporia is not the only disease that can be carried by pets. Ascariasis is also a dangerous disease for humans – about half a thousand people become infected with this disease every year.

Seasonal health problems of Belarusians can also be considered the spread of ticks and, consequently, all those diseases of which they are carriers. But even mosquitoes can cause a disease called dirofilariasis. However, this disease is relatively rare – only a few cases per year. However, experts note that the number of such diseases is not decreasing, and urge caution when dealing with stray animals, as well as using mosquito repellents. Prefer betting markets?
