Comment éviter de passer des vacances sous le signe de la migraine

Ce n'est pas qu'une question de malchance. Vacation migraine is a real phenomenon that can be triggered by various factors, from weather changes to stress.

While there's no magic trick to prevent vacation migraine, you can lower your risk by raising your migraine threshold. Start taking action to make yourself less vulnerable to triggers.

Voici des informations supplémentaires sur les migraines en vacances et comment les prévenir.

What is vacation migraine?

Vacation migraines are migraine attacks that happen during a vacation. More severe than typical travel headaches, this type of migraine can happen due to a variety of reasons, such as:

• A sudden decrease in stress: Vacation migraine often occurs because of abrupt changes in stress levels. Vacation planning is stressful, from booking hotels and transportation to making it to flights on time. Once you arrive at your vacation spot, many of these stresses disappear. This sudden letdown of stress could trigger a migraine attack as your body tries to reregulate its stress hormones.
• Changes in routine: For many people, a sudden shift in patterns can trigger a migraine attack. In everyday life, you might try to keep a consistent eating, sleeping and activity schedule to prevent migraine. But vacations typically involve changing your routine — sleeping in, trying new foods, relaxing at different points in the day. You could experience a migraine attack as a result of these changes.
• Dehydration: Not getting enough water is another common migraine trigger. Dehydration is more likely to occur during vacations because you’re in the hot sun or engaging in physical activity, or because your access to water is limited.
• Other travel stressors: Various other vacation stressors could prompt a migraine attack. For instance, a delayed or canceled flight  might cause you to get overly stressed.

A sudden vacation migraine attack can feel incredibly frustrating. You plan vacations for refreshment, but these attacks can keep you from enjoying yourself.

Tips for avoiding vacation migraine

You can use different strategies to avoid a traveling headache or vacation migraine. Try these tips for migraine prevention.

Taking off work a few days before vacation

Because a sudden drop in stress can trigger migraine, it's important to stay relaxed on the days before your trip. Faites de votre mieux pour réduire le stress dans les jours précédant votre voyage. If possible, build in a buffer zone of two or three days between the end of work and the beginning of your vacation. You could use these days to make final preparations or for extra time to get into a relaxed mood.

Stress is one of the biggest causes of migraine. Staying aware of common stressors or bodily signals of stress can help you manage it. During these extra days before vacation, use stress management techniques to help lower stress levels.

Try techniques such as:

• Progressive muscle relaxation
• Breathing exercises
• Meditation
• Exercise

Asking for help with trip planning

From comparing hotels and vacation rentals to buying travel insurance, planning your vacation can be overwhelming.

Managing vacation logistics is a challenge, especially when planning for the whole family. Si cela vous stresse, demandez à quelqu'un d'autre de s'en occuper.  Il peut s'agir d'un conjoint, d'un partenaire ou même d'un agent de voyage. Travel agents are on the rise again, as many people want guidance they can trust.

A travel agent can:

• Find the perfect place to stay.
• Snag special deals and freebies.
• Act as your advocate when things go wrong.

If you go this route, tell your agent you experience migraine and explain any limitations you may have. Un agent de voyage peut être en mesure d'organiser certains aménagements, en demandant par exemple une chambre ne donnant pas sur la rue ou que le personnel d'entretien utilise des produits de nettoyage sans parfum.

Using your regular migraine prevention techniques

Vacation can tempt you to scrap your regular routines. Whether sleeping late, eating a four-course meal or sipping prosecco, you change your typical routine significantly.

The only problem is that migraine hates change. Shaking up your usual patterns can trigger an attack and ruin your plans. Instead of immediately shifting into a different lifestyle, try to ease into things on your vacation. If you maintain your normal routine as closely as possible, you'll reduce the opportunity for migraine triggers to occur. Try these tips for keeping to your routine while on vacation:

• Respectez vos horaires habituels de sommeil et essayez de dormir huit heures d'affilée.
• Choose foods and drinks that are migraine-friendly.
• Eat at typical times, and don’t skip meals.
• Pensez à boire suffisamment d'eau, en particulier s'il fait chaud.
• Keep up with your exercise routine (or a pared-down version of it).
• Continuez vos routines de prévention de la migraine, notamment en utilisant le programme de PRÉVENTION CEFALY pendant 20 minutes par jour.

Même si vos vacances sont dans plusieurs mois, c'est le moment d'investir dans la prévention de la migraine sans médicament. CEFALY est un appareil médical accepté par la FDA (« FDA-Cleared ») et cliniquement prouvé, permettant de rapidement traiter les crises de migraine aiguës et de prévenir les futurs épisodes. Try it for 90 days with our money-back guarantee!
