Why Migraines Begin In The Teens

People develops migraines in their early teens but very few young kids suffer from it.Why?

Many health researchers will tell you this is caused by hormonal development that increases your chances of triggering a migraine. That may be partly true but there is another reason, and it is the main reason why migraines develop in young people. If we played our hands right, we could mostly avoid this.

Why?

The main cause for migraines and headaches is oxygen deprivation in the brain as I have mentioned in my other articles on migraines.

The main reasons are listed below:

1) We quantity of oxygen we inhale is low because our breathing passages are not open enough and the muscles that control the lungs are not effective enough.

2) Only a small percentage of the oxygen that reaches the lungs actually goes into the blood stream. This is due to bad breathing habits, which again are caused by ineffective muscle control in the lungs.

c} Tension is created in the neck muscles and the blood stream through the neck is constricted. Instead of helping the heart to pump blood up to the head they blocks it.

d} The muscles around the head creates tension. But these muscles are often stiff and do the opposite.instead of being flexible and help the heart to pump the blood to various areas of the brain .

So, why do teenagers develop migraines?

The kids under the age of five or six runs and plays all day, hardly siting down to eat dinner. They sit down on the floor with their plates and this the position nature wanted from us.

Then school begins. Hours are spent sitting on uncomfortable chairs, leaning over schoolbooks. The older kids get, the more they sit. They sit in school, in front of the TV and computer, talking to friends, eating supper. More sitting, less running, jumping, rolling and crawling.

Certain muscles become weak due to the less usage as our back is not meant for just sitting. The muscles which was meant to control the lungs were instead controlling the balance of the body. As a result the neck and shoulders get stiff and blood doesn't flow through.

In "less developed" countries where people do not sit on chairs, migraines are much less common and sometimes almost non-existent.

The teenagers years are the toughest years in many peoples lives - trying to fit in and figure out life.

Many teenagers unconsciously develop the habit of freezing and they stop breathing for several seconds when faced with tough decisions. This habit often follows them throughout their life and can cause repeated migraine and headache attacks.
