Whether in the office or on the road to work, migraines can put a dent in any medical staffing professional's day. The best ways to avoid these annoying headaches is to figure out what causes them.
Try using a headache diary to manage your migraines, charting the time, duration, intensity and possible triggers. Avoid loud noises, flashing lights and sensory stimulation when you feel a migraine coming on.
Stress is one of the most common causes, so it's important to take proper steps to limit anxiety, such as practicing yoga and getting a good night's sleep.
Eating on a regular schedule has also been shown to reduce stress. Consider limiting your intake of certain foods, such as red wine and processed meats, which can initiate the headaches.
Notably, studies have found that women in perimenopause and postmenopause experience migraines more than those in premenopause.
Medical staffing professionals suffering from frequent, debilitating migraines should consult their doctors regarding other possible options.
