| « From Wills to will power: how to achieve a healthy retirement The importance of exercise and a good diet » Migraines and headaches could be made worse with current medication Doctors are being told that the old way of treating migraines and headaches might be outdated as it is now being found that too many painkillers can actually lead to an increase in headaches. Health experts think that many sufferers are actually ending up in far worse shape because they take so many painkillers so they are actually causing themselves to have more headaches in the long run. National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) member Professor Gillian Long explained that migraines and headaches have a very strong negative impact on those who suffer from them and it is very important that people understand that headaches should not be an everyday occurrence. If they are then it is time to seek out treatment, but different types of headaches require different types of treatment making it important that a correct diagnosis of the cause is found. Long went on to explain that most people are not aware that continually taking medicine for tension migraines or headaches can actually end up making the pain much worse resulting in even more pain for those who are suffering. She went on to say that NICE is working hard at increasing the level of care that migraine and headache sufferers receive. There about ten million people in the UK that regularly suffer from frequent migraines or headaches which end up resulting in a loss of 25 million working days across the country. Therefore, NICE is offering guidance to health professionals and GPs with the hope of helping guide patients towards the right treatment plan for them via a correct diagnosis. NICE states that secondary headaches include those caused by other disorders such as neck injury, sinus infection, or stroke whereas tension migraines or headaches are primary headaches.
