Holi celebration and the risk of migraine
The festival of Holi is full of fun and colors, where people come together with their friends and family to dance and enjoy. But, for some people in this happy atmosphere, this joy can turn into trouble by the evening.
Heat, strong sunlight, noise and loud music increase the risk of migraine. Everything seems fine in the beginning, but as you spend more time in the sun, the problem may increase. The problem of headache increases due to crowd, noise, chemical colors and loud music. Therefore, migraine patients should be cautious during Holi. Let us know its reasons and ways to avoid it.
Why does migraine occur after Holi?
Bright sunlight, chemical colors, dust, loud music and dehydration—all these factors can trigger migraine attacks. These triggers activate a specific nerve in the brain of migraine patients, causing increased pressure on the brain and pain.
It is important to note that migraine symptoms can take 2 to 6 hours to develop. Therefore, everything may seem fine during Holi, but the headache may start again in the evening.
Main causes of migraine
1. Bright sunlight: Everyone enjoys playing with colors on Holi, but strong sunlight can be harmful for migraine patients. Spending too much time in sunlight can open pain pathways in the brain, which can lead to migraine attacks.
2. Chemical Colour: Even though the colors of Holi look beautiful, the chemicals present in them can be harmful for health. These can cause allergies and swelling in the nose, which can lead to severe headaches or migraines.
3. Loud Music: Loud music and crowd makes the mind tired. Constant noise can cause headaches in people suffering from migraine.
Ways to avoid migraine
Avoid spending too much time in loud music and noise.
Wear sunglasses and a cap before going out.
Drink water or ORS every 30-45 minutes to stay hydrated.
Use herbal colors instead of chemical colors.
Don’t forget to rest from time to time.
Avoid playing Holi on an empty stomach so that blood sugar remains controlled.
