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

Migraine is caused by hormonal development as told by many health researchers but there is another reason, and it is the main reason why migraines develop in young people.

So, why do migraine catches one in their early teens?

As stated in my earlier articles on migraines, I have mentioned that the main cause for migraines is oxygen deprivation to the brain.

The four things that cause this deprivation are:

1) We don’t inhale enough oxygen – 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.

4) Tension in the muscles around the head. These muscles are supposed to be flexible and help the heart pump the blood to various areas of the brain but they’re often stiff and do the opposite.

So, why do teenagers develop migraines?

Think about it: Up until age five or six, kids run around playing all day. They hardly sit down to eat dinner. And given the choice they’ll sit down on the floor with their plate. This is the position nature wanted for us.

During their school days they spent hours sitting on uncomfortable chairs and leaning over school books. As they grow older, they sit more in school, in front of the TV and computer, talking to friends, eating supper etc. There is less running, jumping, rolling and crawling and more sitting.

Our back was not meant for all this sitting. Some muscles become weak due to little use while others take over their task. The muscles that were meant to control our lungs are now used to balance our body. The neck and shoulders get stiff and blood doesn’t flow through like it used to.

Migraines are not common in less developed countries as people out there do not sit on chairs.

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

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.
