Bubur Asyura ialah bubur yang dibuat dengan pelbagai campuran ramuan pada 10 Muharram iaitu pada Hari Asyura. Ia juga dikenali sebagai sugha.
Bubur Asyura mesti mempunyai 10 jenis ramuan, jikalau lebih atau kurang, maka bubur tersebut bukan Bubur Asyura. Setiap negeri, terutama negeri-negeri di semenanjung Malaysia, mempunyai Bubur Asyura yang berlainan rasa dan ramuan. Tak kurang juga kat tempat tinggal aku nie.macam macam ramuan dia orang letak sampaikan rasa macam nak sama dengan pizza.
Tahun ini adalah pengalaman kedua aku bersama2 dengan penduduk taman ini bergotong royong membuat bubur Asyura.
Sejarah hari Asyura
Peristiwa Asyura berkait dengan peristiwa Nabi Musa a.s., Ibn Abbas r.a. menceritakan bahawa Nabi s.a.w. tiba di Madinah dan melihat orang Yahudi berpuasa pada hari 10 Muharam. Nabi s.a.w. bertanya apa yang yang mereka lakukan? Orang Yahudi menjawab bahawa hari ini (10 Muharam) ialah hari soleh (baik). Allah s.w.t. menyelamatkan pada hari ini Musa a.s. dan Bani Israel daripada musuh mereka. Maka Musa berpuasa pada hari tersebut. Maka Nabi s.a.w. bersabda bahawa baginda lebih berhak dengan Musa daripada kamu (orang Yahudi). Nabi s.a.w. berpuasa pada hari itu dan mengarahkan sahabatnya berpuasa. (Riwayat Bukhari).
Ada juga anggapan bahawa hari Asyura berkait dengan peristiwa Nabi Nuh. Kononnya, selepas diselamatkan daripada banjir besar, maka dibuatlah makanan daripada apa yang ada. Makanan yang dimasak itu ialah bubur. Lalu terbitlah satu makanan namanya bubur Asyura. Apa pun yang pasti hari 10 Muharam berkait dengan peristiwa Nabi Musa dan ada anggapan ia berkaitan dengan juga dengan Nabi Nuh.
Puasa hari Asyura pula merupakan sunah Nabi Muhammad s.a.w. Ini ditegaskan dalam satu sabda maksudnya: Sesungguhnya hari ini hari Asyura dan tidak diwajibkan atas kamu puasa padanya. Sesiapa yang mahu maka berpuasalah, dan sesiapa yang tidak mahu maka berbukalah. (Riwayat Bukhari).

The Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace Exhibition

Malaysia is once again proud to play host to the 11th edition of the LIMA Exhibition, which will be held from 6 – 10 December 2011 in Langkawi.

The Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace Exhibition is the premier destination for aerospace and maritime manufacturers targeting the Asia Pacific growth markets. For nearly 22 years, LIMA has been serving exhibitor needs by assembling key decision makers from the defence, enforcement and civil sectors. In 2009, over 210 delegations from 40 countries gathered in Langkawi Island representing what was essentially this exact market in the world. LIMA’s carefully crafted programmes gave exhibitors the opportunity to access this invaluable market and help grow their business.

Since its inception in 1991, LIMA has gone from strength. From 150 companies in 1991, it attracted more than 450 companies from 25 countries with almost RM5 billion worth of business generated in the last exhibition held in 2009, and has now become one of the world’s premier aerospace exhibitions.

5 Powerful Foods that Lower Your Blood Pressure
Are you eating enough of these 5 amazing foods that help reduce high blood pressure?
Did you know that stroke and coronary heart disease still remain to be on the list of the top three main causes of death.? It's time to take your health seriously so you don't fall victim to these!
What is High Blood Pressure and how does this come into play?
According to the National Institute for Health, blood pressure levels of 140/90 mmHg or more can be classified as hypertension.
The worst part about having high blood pressure is that the condition can sometimes be present without any symptoms and before we know it, the damage is already extensive. Serious problems that have been associated with high blood pressure include kidney failure, heart attack, heart failure and stroke.
What are the Risk Factors Associated with High Blood Pressure?
Blood pressure can be influenced by a lot of factors – age, race, family history, tobacco use, sedentary lifestyle, diet, binge drinking, and stress levels. Chronic conditions such as sleep apnea, diabetes and high cholesterol levels can also precipitate the development of hypertension.
What can You Do to Lower Blood Pressure?
You don't need potentially dangerous drugs to control and reduce your blood pressure. Controlling blood pressure levels could be as simple as doing lifestyle modifications and eating healthier.
If you are a smoker, quit. If you drink heavily, try to practice self-control. At work, take the stairs instead of the elevator. And if you have been obsessed with sweet, sugary foods as well as processed fast-food meals, then modify your eating habits as well. Learn to eat the right kinds of food before it's too late.
Below are 5 of my top picks for powerful foods that could help you lower your blood pressure levels:
artichokes help lower blood pressure1.
The use of artichokes has been implicated in the lowering of cholesterol levels in the blood. Since hypercholesterolemia is one of the risk factors for high blood pressure, this information is actually good news. Three clinical trials conducted separately by Dr. Barbara Wider supports this fact. In Cochrane Database of Systemic Reviews’ October 2009 issue, where the result of the study was published, it was shown that patients who were diagnosed with hypercholesterolemia and given Artichoke leaf extract exhibited a decrease in their blood cholesterol levels.
Artichokes taste amazing steamed (generally steam for about 1 hour) and then dip each piece into a mixture of olive oil, grass-fed butter, and garlic. Delicious!
bananas cut high blood pressure2.
A study published in The New England Journal of Medicine says that incorporating bananas in your day-to-day meals can actually cut stroke-related deaths by as much as 40 percent. A 1997 study at Johns Hopkins University recommended eating at least five bananas daily to achieve the desired effect, and that is to lower elevated blood pressure levels. However, a study conducted by Indian researchers at the Kasturba medical college revealed that people who eat two bananas a day, for one whole week, can lower their blood pressure levels by 10 percent.
Bananas are rich in potassium, which is responsible for the proper functioning of the heart. It works with sodium to maintain balance of the body’s fluids, which is an important factor in the regulation of blood pressure.
compounds in beets beat blood pressure3.
A research study conducted by scientists from Barts and The London School Medicine revealed that simply drinking one 500 ml glass of beetroot juice each day can produce astounding health benefits, especially to the heart.
Beetroot juice has been found to lower high blood pressure levels. Professors Amrita Ahluwalia and Ben Benjamin, from the William Harvey Research Institute and Peninsula Medical Center, respectively, led the research efforts, which revealed that the consumption of dietary nitrate that is found in beetroot has BP-lowering effects in as fast as 1 hour after ingestion, with the effect lasting for up to 24 hours. The result of the study was published in the March 2008 issue of Hypertension.
You can try beetroot juice, or also try baked beets sliced on salads or as a side dish to dinner.
cocoa helps lower blood pressure4.
A study conducted by researchers from Germany’s University Hospital of Cologne revealed that cocoa can significantly lower high blood pressure levels. Study results were published in the Archives of Internal Medicine. The beneficial heart effects of cocoa are attributed to its flavonoid content, specifically procyanids.
Because cocoa is most commonly found in chocolate, people falsely assume that eating a lot of chocolate could be good for the health. Keep in mind that cocoa in chocolates have undergone a lot of processing, and it has been mixed with loads of sugar, so this is not totally healthy. The best way to take advantage of the health benefits offered by cocoa is to choose raw cacao – it is good for the heart, the brain and the liver. Raw cacao nibs go great in smoothies! Also use organic cocoa powder in smoothies or homemade hot cocoa sweetened with stevia instead of sugar.
garlic fights hypertension5.
Researchers from South Australia’s University of Adelaide have conducted studies, which provide solid proof that the consumption of garlic can indeed help lower elevated blood pressure levels. Garlic supplements in powder form were given and results revealed that it produced a reduction in systolic blood pressure. Garlic has been known all over the world as a very important herb, especially with its heart-protecting capabilities. It helps lower blood cholesterol levels and prevents blood from forming clots (which could lead to heart attack and stroke).
Furthermore, the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences journal has published the results of a laboratory test showing how garlic juice can lead to a decrease in blood pressure levels. Eating the equivalent of 2 cloves of garlic each day can significantly contribute to the health of the heart.

Amalkan gaya hidup sihat.

Ramai orang kerap bergurau dengan mengatakan perut buncit ini tanda bahagia atau tanda kemewahan tetapi yang pastinya perut buncit telah terbukti secara saintifik berkait rapat dengan banyak masalah kesihatan termasuklah masalah jantung. Lemak yang terkumpul di perut boleh diumpamakan lemak (viseral) di dalam organ-organ dalam badan termasuklah hati, jantung dan sebagainya.

Semakin buncit perut menandakan seseorang itu semakin tidak sihat. Ukuran lilit yang ideal bagi kaum lelaki ialah 90 sentimeter dan bagi wanita ialah 80 sentimeter.

Ukuran ini perlu dilakukan oleh pengamal perubatan atau mereka yang mengetahui teknik ukuran tersebut. Pergilah berjumpa dengan doktor atau jururawat bagi mendapatkan ukuran lilit perut saudara.

Perut buncit merupakan kriteria utama sebelum seseorang itu dilabelkan mendapat sindrom metabolik yang berkait rapat dengan penyakit-penyakit seperti diabetes mellitus, hipertensi, masalah jantung dan sebagainya. Tidak ada cara selain menjaga pemakanan yang baik dan melakukan senaman secara konsisten bagi mengatasi masalah perut buncit.

Mungkin cara sedutan lemak atau 'liposuction' boleh dilakukan tetapi kesannya adalah tidak berkekalan jika tidak mengamalkan cara hidup yang sihat. Semoga kita sama-sama berazam agar perut kita tidak buncit dan seterusnya mendapat kesihatan yang berkekalan, Insya-Allah.

Water, the simplest appetite control method

Read this articles:
An appetite control agent that requires no prescription, has no side-effects and costs almost nothing? A new clinical trial has confirmed that just two 8-ounce glasses of the stuff, taken before meals, enables people to shed pounds. The new miracle elixir? Water.

The Virginia Tech findings, presented at the 240th National Meeting of the American Chemical Society, come from the first randomized controlled intervention trial demonstrating that increased water consumption is an effective weight loss strategy.

"We found in earlier studies that middle aged and older people who drank two cups of water right before eating a meal ate between 75 and 90 fewer calories during that meal. In this recent study, we found that over the course of 12 weeks, dieters who drank water before meals, three times per day, lost about 5 pounds more than dieters who did not increase their water intake," said Brenda Davy, senior author on the study. "People should drink more water and less sugary, high-calorie drinks. It's a simple way to facilitate weight management."

Previous studies had hinted that drinking water before meals reduces intake of calories but there has been surprisingly little scientific information on the topic. The study included 48 adults aged 55-75 years, divided into two groups. One group drank 2 cups of water prior to their meals and the other did not. All of the subjects ate a low-calorie diet during the study. Over the course of 12 weeks, water drinkers lost about 15.5 pounds, while the non-water drinkers lost about 11 pounds.

Davy said water may be so effective simply because it fills up the stomach with a substance that has zero calories. "People feel fuller as a result, and eat less calorie-containing food during the meal. Increased water consumption may also help people lose weight if they drink it in place of sweetened calorie-containing beverages."

Davy also pointed out that that nobody knows exactly how much water people should drink daily. The Institute of Medicine says that most healthy people can simply let thirst be their guide. It does not specify exact requirements for water, but set general recommendations for women at about 9 cups of fluids - from all beverages including water - each day, and men at about 13 cups of fluids.

Ibadah Puasa Dan Peranannya Dalam Rawatan Detoksifikasi

Dalam Islam, berpuasa adalah satu ibadah yang wajib dan ia merupakan rukun Islam ketiga sebagaimana menurut firma Allah dalam surah al Baqarah, ayat 183 yang bermaksud�..�wahai orang-orang yang beriman, telah diwajibkan ke atas kamu berpuasa sebagaimana yang telah diwajibkan ke atas orang-orang sebelum kamu agar kamu bertakwa�. Daripada ayat ini, umat Islam itu berpuasa dengan menahan makan dan minum serta menjauhi segala perkara yang boleh membatalkannya kerana menuruti perintah agama. Namun apa yang lebih penting sekali difahami daripada arahan agama ini adalah sikap umat Islam untuk menghayati puasa itu di samping sebagai satu ibadah, tetapi mempunyai implikasi hikmah yang lebih luas lagi dengan mencakupi aspek perubatan dan kesihatan, pemakanan, perekonomian, pembasmian kemiskinan dan keadilan serta perpaduan sosial dan banyak lagi.

Ada kemungkinan yang besar bahawa umat manusia tidak akan mengetahui apa itu puasa jika Allah sendiri tidak mengajarkan kepada mereka apa itu puasa. Oleh sebab itulah amalan berpuasa bukan sesuatu yang asing, atau sebagai satu amalan yang sudah sebati dan sinonim dalam ajaran yang terkandung dalam semua ajaran agama Samawi, iaitu agama yang diturunkan oleh Allah. Maka itu, kita mendapati para pengikut yang berpegang kepada ajaran dalam Kitab Zabur, Injil dan Taurat sehinggalah Al Quran, berpuasa sebagai satu ibadat yang diarahkan oleh Allah.

Walaubagaimanapun, sudah tentu terdapat perbezaan dalam amalan ini antara Islam, Kristian dan Yahudi. Pada dasarnya, kewajipan berpuasa yang dituntut oleh Allah ke atas umat Islam yang berakal dan cukup umur dari kalangan lelaki dan perempuan adalah supaya mereka dapat meningkatkan lagi ketakwaan mereka kepada Allah. Ketakwaan yang diperolehi ini nanti akan menjadikan mereka lebih takut, patuh dan taat serta hormat kepada Allah. Mereka akan berasa takut untuk melakukan kejahatan ataupun meninggalkan suruhan Nya, malah sentiasa pula terdorong untuk melakukan kebaikan dan melarang kejahatan. Dan kesan ketakwaan ini akan memberi kekuatan spiritual kepadanya bukan sahaja di bulan Ramadhan ini, tetapi juga di luar Ramadhan, malah selagi mana hayat ini di kandung badan.

Dalam Islam, puasa sebagai satu ibadah, di samping sebagai satu proses penyucian dosa dan pembersihan jiwa serta untuk peningkatan ketakwaan kepada Tuhan, ia juga merupakan satu bentuk rawatan kepada sistem tubuh badan khususnya dikenali sebagai proses detoksifikasi. Inilah antara lain hikmah dari amalan berpuasa. Detoksifikasi atau penyahtoksidan adalah satu proses di mana pelbagai jenis bahan beracun atau bahan toksik dikeluarkan dari tubuh badan manusia bagi tujuan pembersihan. Tetapi dari manakah atau bagaimanakah bahan-bahan toksik ini boleh memasuki badan kita? Sebenarnya sama ada disedari atau tidak, punca utama bahan-bahan toksik ini memasuki badan adalah melalui mulut dengan memakan makanan sama ada yang telah tercemar atau pun yang mengandungi bahan-bahan tambahan lain yang tidak sesuai untuk badan seseorang di samping faktor pencemaran persekitaran. Tubuh badan manusia sebenarnya mempunyai mekanisma semulajadi tersendiri dalam membersihkan organ dalaman badan dari bahan beracun. Sebagai contohnya, hati adalah organ terbesar yang berfungsi untuk mengkumuhkan segala sisa yang ada untuk dibuang selain ginjal, pundi kencing dan sistem darah. Dan di manakah pula peranan puasa dalam proses rawatan bentuk ini? Sebenarnya berpuasa turut membantu tubuh badan kita mengkumuhkan bahan-bahan toksik berkenaan yang sudah tentu tidak diperlukan oleh badan kita malah boleh mengakibatkan pelbagai gejala pula jika dibiarkan. Dari segi kesihatan, bagi merawat gejala keracunan, satu agen lain yang bersifat antitoxic atau pun bahan lain yang mempunyai nilai komposisi antitoxic yang lebih kuat harus digunakan bagi tujuan penyahtoksidan atau pun meneutralkan keadaan. Selain dari ini, kaedah membiarkan keupayaan semulajadi badan untuk menyahtoksik dengan mengurangkan kadar pengambilan bahan-bahan yang toksik atau membantu badan membersihkan bahan-bahan berkenaan secara semulajadi juga digunakan walaupun agak lambat tetapi amat berkesan di samping tiada kesan sampingan (adverse effect). Dengan cara inilah bagaimana amalan berpuasa itu dilihat dapat memainkan peranannya bagi tujuan detoksifikasi dan pembersihan tubuh badan bagi pengekalan kesihatan yang optimum. Inilah antara hikmah puasa yang amat jarang sekali dihargai oleh orang-orang yeng berpuasa.

Puasa sebenarnya mampu meningkatkan lagi keupayaan tubuh badan bagi tujuan penyahtoksidan dan pembersihan. Seseorang yang berpuasa telah memberi ruang masa yang mencukupi kepada organ pencernaan seperti perut, usus, pankreas dan hati untuk melakukan kerja-kerja pembersihan di samping memperbaiki lagi keadaan diri mereka yang telah rosak yang selama ini tidak dapat dipenuhi akibat dari pertambahan beban makanan. Ketika berpuasa juga, aktiviti pembersihan badan menjadi lebih menyeluruh dan segala toksin dapat dikeluarkan dari kolon, buah pinggang dan pundi kencing serta paru-paru dan kulit. Keadaan ini akhirnya melapangkan kesan sumbatan yang berlaku pada dinding dan saluran sistem pemakanan dan pernafasan lalu memberi cukup bekalan oksigen kepada sel-sel dalam badan dan menjadikannya lebih bertenaga. Pembersihan sisa toksin dalam kolon umpamanya amat penting bagi kesihatan sistem penghadaman dan pencegahan barah usus dan RasululLah s.a.w sendiri mengamalkan aktiviti pembersihan kolon ini di mana berpuasa amat berkesan bagi tujuan ini.

Jika ditinjau dari sudut pemakanan, tabiat pemakanan seseorang individu memainkan peranan yang amat besar sekali dalam menentukan kesihatan dan tahap morbiditi mereka. Ini kerana secara jelasnya, apa juga makanan yang mereka ambil akan memberi kesan langsung kepada kesejahteraan tubuh mereka malah juga terhadap kewujudan penyakit tertentu. Dan kaedah pengawalan pengambilan makanan tertentu dapat pula meningkatkan kesejahteraan mereka di samping mengurangkan risiko penyakit tersebut. Memang tidak dapat dinafikan bahawa berpuasa mampu mengurangkan paras gula dan kolesterol dalam darah serta kandungan lemak dalam badan. Ini secara tidak langsung berkesan dalam mengurangkan risiko diabetis (khususnya Type II Diabetes), hipertensi dan strok. Seseorang yang berpuasa akan mendapati pembakaran kandungan lemak dalam badan dapat dijalankan secara lebih sempurna lagi. Proses ini berlaku di mana lemak-lemak tersebut digunakan untuk menghasilkan tenaga mereka yang berpuasa dan lemak-lemak inilah merupakan satu-satunya sumber tenaga yang ada pada ketika itu. Dan sudah pasti proses ini amat baik bagi mengurangkan kesan tidak elok akibat dari peningkatan kolesterol, berat badan berlebihan dan obesiti.

Dalam surah al Maa�idah, ayat 88 Allah mengkehendaki setiap orang-orang yang beriman itu hanya memakan makanan yang halal dan baik sahaja sebagaimana firman-Nya bermaksud �dan makanlah makanan yang halal lagi baik dari apa yang Allah telah berikan kepada kamu dan bertakwalah kepada Allah, yang kamu beriman kepada-Nya.

Unjuran hanya memakan makanan yang halal lagi baik adalah satu keperluan bagi orang-orang yang beriman. Makanan yang halal lagi baik akan meningkatkan kesejahteraan dan menghindarkan kemudharatan seperti penyakit, keracunan dan sebagainya. Oleh itu, tanggungjawab mereka bukan sahaja memastikan makanan yang mereka ambil itu halal dan baik serta segar atau bersih, tetapi juga mampu mengoptimakan tahap kesihatan mereka. Tetapi hakikat yang berlaku di kalangan ummah kini adalah di mana terdapat mereka yang berupaya mendapatkan makanan yang halal dan sempurna, segar dan baik tetapi masih ditimpa mudharat dan penyakit daripada makanan berkenaan. Ini bermakna mereka perlu mengambil kira beberapa aspek yang lain berkaitan pemakanan seperti tidak makan secara berlebihan, makan apabila perlu sahaja dan hanya memilih sumber dan khasiat makanan yang sesuai dengan keperluan tubuh badan demi kesihatan dan kekuatan. Dan semua aspek ini sebenarnya terkandung sebagai hikmah yang terselindung dalam ibadat puasa yang perlu dihayati secara mendalam oleh umat Islam. Dan yang lebih penting adalah mendapatkan kesan detoksifikasi dari amalan berpuasa ini secara berterusan dan berpanjangan. Begitu juga, mereka perlu menyedari bahawa bahan-bahan toksik boleh berpunca bukan sahaja dalam bentuk makanan yang dimakan, tetapi apa jua yang boleh mencemari kesucian bulan Ramadhan seperti perkataan yang tidak baik yang menjadi punca kepada fitnah dan pendustaan serta penyelewengan.

hello...

Think you might have a symptom of migraines?

Knowing if you have a symptom of migraines or something else will give you the keys you need to find the right treatment. Even a doctor may misdiagnose you at first, so we're going to look closely at each symptom to see what your head may be trying to tell you!
Things to remember: Remember that the chances are good that you may get more than one
type of headache. You may have a symptom of migraines and tension headaches. Be aware that you may suffer from both! (One of the best books to help you decide what type of headache you have is from the "For Dummies" series – you guessed it, Migraines for Dummies! )
Secondly, remember that symptoms are not proof, only evidence. Headaches are complex so you should go to your doctor for help. We want to guide you through the facts so that you and your doctor can get to the truth and solve the problem.
You also need to know that a "typical" migraine ain't so typical! You may have drastically different symptoms from me, but still have migraine. Some people even have migraine without pain (silent migraine) or pain not in the head but somewhere else! We're all unique! :)
Finally, remember that your symptoms may change over the years, and you may need to change your treatment to match.

Symptom of Migraines #1 – Aura
Though only 15-20% of migraine sufferers get an aura, it's one of the clearest signs that you have migraine. Before you get a headache (though the aura may crop up during headache as well) you may get strange symptoms. You may see flashing lights or wavy lines, feel dizzy, or just not feel right. There are several other possible auras as well, so i have a whole article about migraine and aura to give you the facts! Learn about migraine aura without headache or silent migraine.

Symptom of Migraines #2 – Where's the pain (and when is it leaving)??
You may have heard that a symptom of migraines is pain on one side of the head. This is a common (not universal) symptom, but could also indicate a cluster headache or even (though rarely) a tension headache. Migraine pain is usually quite severe, but a tension headache is usually just a dull ache. Read more about tension headache symptoms. The pain usually lasts 1-3 hours (less in children) to 3 days (though rarely that long). Migraines may attack 1-4x per month (though in some people 10 or more times) or only 2 or 3 times over an entire lifetime.
Cluster headaches, in contrast, reach a peak in 5-10 minutes and may only last 45 minutes to 3 hours. Read more about the differences in cluster headaches here.
Read about thunderclap headaches, which go from 0 to agony in less than 60 seconds...
Headache temple pain could have a variety of causes...
Another type of pain migraineurs deal with is called allodynia, which is a sensitivity to touch, on the scalp or arms. Read more about allodynia. Believe it or not, pain is one possible symptom of migraine. Yes, most people with migraines have pain, but some people get migraines with no pain at all (silent migraine - often eye migraine).

Symptom of Migraines #3 – Nausea
Nausea and vomiting are among the most dreaded symptoms. Vomiting may be a sign that your headache is almost over, or that it's just starting. It can sometimes be so severe that it happens over and over in cycles and may cause dehydration.
There are a number of different approaches to treating this symptom. For all the details, read this migraine nausea article.

Symptom of Migraines #4 – Low tolerance for . . .
Light, odours, or noises. It is very typical of migraineurs that they will need to go and lie down in a dark, quiet room. If this sounds like you, you likely have migraine as opposed to cluster headaches, where the sufferer may want to walk around.

Symptom of Migraines #5 – Circulatory problems
We learned on our cause of migraines page (which will help you understand symptom of migraines) that migraines seem to be related to changes in blood vessels and blood flow. Sometimes this can result in strange symptoms, such as changes in skin colour, change in heart rate, or feeling like you have a fever (when you don't).
A migraine may also cause nasal congestion and watery eyes, leading some doctors to think you may have a sinus headache, or sinusitis, in which your sinuses become red and inflamed. Sinusitis, however, lasts for more than just a couple days, and may last weeks or months.
It's been estimated that half of migraine sufferers don't know they have migraine but think they have sinus headache! Technically, migraines activate a nerve cluster which in turn stimulates tear ducts and sinuses. Read this page for more on migraine vs sinus headache. You may also have a fever, pain when your forehead or area under your eyes is touched, and perhaps even swelling around the eyes. If your headache is recurrent and goes away in a few hours or a day or two, you likely don't have sinusitis. As always, if you have new symptoms, talk to your doctor.

Symptom of Migraines #6 – Gastrointestinal Woes
This includes diarrhea, constipation, or cramps. Your stomach may even become paralysed (gastroparesis), making oral painkillers ineffective.

Symptom of Migraines #7 – Behavioural Changes
You may be irritable not just because of your pain, but because of the way migraine effects your brain (but don't use that as an excuse to yell at your spouse!). Other changes may include: becoming more passive, lower mental ability, restlessness, confusion. You may also have extra energy and euphoria, or even increased creativity! (Don't you wish you could choose your symptoms?!) At the worst, migraine sufferers feel like they're losing control, going crazy, and may even feel suicidal.

You're not alone - just how many people have migraine? What symptoms do they have? Find out these things and much more on our migraine statistics page!

DANGER SIGNS:
If you have sudden changes in your headaches, loss of balance or muscle weakness, drooping eyelids, neck pain, or a headache made worse when you strain, see your doctor right away.
