00:00 Headache?
00:02 Sometimes, you feel dizzy.
00:04 But most of the time, we are just pretending.
00:12 And if you get hit by this, you'll feel pain all day long.
00:27 I'll ask you, what's the thing that makes you headache, Kapuso?
00:31 It's my headache when I don't have money.
00:34 Boyfriend?
00:35 That's a headache.
00:37 When I'm in love.
00:39 Or sometimes, when my baby is too naughty.
00:42 Problems at school works for me.
00:45 When I'm reviewing or there's someone who's annoying.
00:49 Headache.
00:50 It's just like a joke, right?
00:54 But what if we think that a simple headache is just a migraine?
01:02 That's what makes a 27-year-old Michelle headache.
01:10 She often has a headache.
01:13 She can't even talk about what kind of headache she has.
01:17 My mom's side of the story is what makes us headache.
01:22 I was only 14 years old.
01:24 That's when I started having a headache, even when I was at home.
01:28 I had a headache for 4 days in a week.
01:31 Michelle has a medicine ready for every attack.
01:36 But sometimes, when she gets sick, her solution is to hit her head on the wall.
01:42 Oh my, calm down, Michelle.
01:45 Sometimes, I get to the point where I get sick.
01:50 I fall asleep crying.
01:52 When it's 12 noon, Michelle will go around to buy donuts.
01:58 Donut!
02:00 Donut!
02:02 After walking in the heat,
02:05 when she gets home, she's greeted by naughty kids.
02:10 She's there, playing.
02:11 When she gets home, she's already hitting her head.
02:13 What's more, her headache is when she's on her phone.
02:18 When I'm on my phone, I'm lying down.
02:20 I look straight at the light, and I feel like I'm being healed.
02:24 I feel like I'm being healed.
02:26 Michelle suspects that she has a migraine.
02:30 To confirm, we asked a doctor from the Medical City's Institute of Neurological Sciences to examine her.
02:39 Are you just feeling dizzy?
02:41 Yes.
02:42 I'm getting dizzy.
02:44 Close one of your eyes.
02:45 Tell me how many fingers are up there that you can see.
02:48 Two.
02:50 Okay. Sorry, I'll just hold it.
02:52 It doesn't hurt here.
02:53 When you close your eyes, it's fine.
02:55 Okay.
02:57 From our examination,
02:59 we found that you don't have any signs of deficit or lack of function in your body.
03:09 What's the cause of Michelle's headache?
03:14 Before Doc gave the diagnosis, did you know that there are different types of headaches?
03:20 We have primary headaches and secondary headaches.
03:25 Secondary headaches can be caused by other problems.
03:30 There are things that can induce headaches.
03:35 For example, when there's a different kind of illness in a different part of the body,
03:38 it can induce headaches.
03:40 Sometimes, when you're feeling dizzy.
03:42 It really goes up to your stomach.
03:44 It goes up to your stomach.
03:47 It goes up to here.
03:49 It goes up to here.
03:51 It's like there's something pinching your head.
03:55 It's like something is pinching your back.
03:58 This is a migraine.
04:01 I don't like that.
04:03 It's a neurological condition that is considered a primary headache.
04:08 According to the 2016 Global Burden of Disease Study,
04:11 12 million Filipinos have migraines.
04:15 The question is, how can we know if the symptom of a headache is a migraine that should be consulted by experts?
04:23 We can say that a headache is a migraine if there's a bump that is felt in the head.
04:28 It is also caused by intense light, noise, or movement that can result in dizziness or nausea.
04:38 It has two characteristics.
04:41 It can be pulsating or bumping.
04:46 It can be unilateral or on one side of the head.
04:50 It can also be aggravated by physical activity or usual activities.
04:58 It can also be moderate to severe in severity.
05:01 There are also associated symptoms.
05:05 One of the following, you may have nausea and vomiting.
05:08 You may also have phonophobia and photophobia.
05:12 Another common symptom is tension headache.
05:16 It occurs when our muscles contract in our head and neck.
05:21 We get it from physical, emotional, or mental stress.
05:25 It can be treated with a rubber band that is like a string that is twisted around the head.
05:34 Tension headache is described as a tight sensation.
05:39 It feels tight.
05:42 Usually, the distribution of our headache is around here.
05:46 According to Dr. Maldonado, pain can be alleviated using muscle relaxants.
05:51 Although sometimes, the characteristics can be the same.
05:57 We will distinguish it using the criteria that we have mentioned.
06:02 The 37-year-old call center agent, Alexi, is the one who suffers from this.
06:08 I started working at a call center in 2016.
06:13 I work night shifts.
06:17 My routine is to go home, sleep, and wake up.
06:22 Sometimes, I can't sleep.
06:24 Because of his lifestyle, Alexi noticed that his head aches.
06:30 It happens three times a month.
06:32 Usually, when I wake up, I have a headache.
06:38 I force myself to go to work.
06:41 But there was a time when he couldn't take it anymore.
06:45 We have high calls.
06:48 There are a lot of calls that come in.
06:51 I can't breathe.
06:53 My mouth and eyes are on the computer.
06:56 I can't take it anymore.
06:59 I couldn't take it anymore.
07:00 The day after my shift, I felt that I needed to have a check-up.
07:06 Alexi's diagnosis is Denshon Headache.
07:10 The doctor said that weighting is prone to illness.
07:14 Especially in my field of work, it is stressful.
07:19 He was told to complete his 8-hour sleep and take vitamin C.
07:26 He was advised to take paracetamol when he felt a headache.
07:31 He is also trying to achieve a healthy lifestyle like eating healthy food.
07:37 So, if you feel a headache,
07:43 you should consult an expert.
07:45 If a person has a headache, we can ask the doctor to examine it.
07:49 We can examine the characteristics of your headache.
07:54 We can determine if it is a migraine headache or another type of headache.
07:58 Meanwhile, what is the diagnosis of Michelle's case?
08:03 According to the doctor, Michelle is experiencing migraine.
08:07 We have criteria for diagnosing migraine headaches.
08:13 At least, there should be 5 attacks that happened previously with the characteristics that we are looking for.
08:21 It can last for around 4 hours to around 3 days.
08:25 It is that long.
08:27 What are the possible causes of migraine?
08:30 According to the doctor, there are environmental and mental triggers,
08:35 hormonal changes,
08:37 new sleep patterns,
08:39 medications,
08:41 and sometimes, food.
08:43 There are foods that can trigger migraine
08:48 like wine, chocolate, mani, cheese, and processed food.
08:52 Once a migraine headache is diagnosed,
08:55 it is not 100% cured or the migraine will be eliminated.
08:59 But we manage it by
09:01 one, we lower the possibility that it will occur again
09:06 or it will be frequent to have it recur.
09:09 Or, one, we can reduce the symptoms.
09:13 According to the doctor, in order to avoid migraine or other types of headaches,
09:17 proper diet, hydration, and of course, exercise are also important.
09:22 Proper sleep and lesser screen time are also important in a healthy lifestyle.
09:27 So, in World Brain Day, we remind you that
09:30 you should not neglect any type of headache.
09:33 Sometimes, we neglect headaches.
09:38 It can be just tiredness or just a little bit of fatigue.
09:41 But there are types of headaches that
09:45 can be really scary.
09:48 For example, if you can hear,
09:51 there are people with aneurysms, brain tumors.
09:54 Today, we are celebrating World Brain Day.
09:58 World Brain Day is a campaign
10:01 to have information dissemination
10:07 about brain health
10:10 or conditions
10:13 that can help us take care of our brain.
10:15 There are many diseases in the brain
10:18 or neurological diseases
10:20 that can cause us to become old or have a disability
10:24 like strokes.
10:27 So, dear friends, remember,
10:30 it is important for us to be everyday healthy.
