Needless to say that the snuff, in any form, is harmful to health. But it is valid to share more reasons to quit smoking, once and for all, a habit that all it does is to go mining, little by little, our health.
According to a recent study published in The Journal of Headache and Pain, smoking more than five cigarettes per day can increase your chances of getting migraines. The work was done on 361 medical students at the University of Salamanca to be consulted in person and who knew well what are these headaches.
16 percent of these students suffered from migraine, while 20 percent of the total smoke. Among migraineurs, 29 percent were smokers, as well as the frequency of attacks was also much higher.
According to Julio Pascual, one of the authors of the study, “Smoking is a precipitating factor for this type of headache, since the prevalence of active smokers is one third higher in people migraine and is a direct relationship between the number of cigarettes smoked and the frequency of migraine, “he said.
In this sense, the research team highlighted the role of the number of cigarettes based on the results, we may conclude from the five cigarettes a day are more likely to develop a migraine.
The pulmonologist emphasized that under any view, “you can recommend a person with migraine who smoke thinking it will improve your migraines.” This warning has been made by way of banishing a popular belief that claims that smoking can help reduce the headache for the “channel” anxiety.
Migraines and chronic headaches are an autonomous disease belonging to the most common chronic diseases. However, they also often attributed to a genetic issue, in fact, most migraine patients have a family history.
“Today it is believed that migraines are a state of hyperexcitability of neurons that control pain in the head. People with migraine was born with ion channels in the membrane of the neurons that are much more permeable and excitable. So the person’s brain is capable of linking migraine crisis precipitating stimuli such as snuff, “he said Julio Pascual.
