Migraine spelled out using letter blocks
If you have a migraine disorder, you are no more at risk for COVID-19 than the general population, but the pandemic may more adversely affect you due to higher rates of disability, missed work, and economic losses.
In addition, some symptoms of the novel virus such as nausea and gastrointestinal distress can mimic symptoms of migraine. Other COVID-19 symptoms, such as a runny nose or headache, are similar to symptoms of a sinus infection, common among people with migraine, or allergies. If any of these symptoms are worse than usual during what seems like a migraine attack, contact your primary care physician or neurologist for advice and recommendations for care.
Here are some things you can do to mitigate migraines during this pandemic.
Social distancing: This may be easier for patients with migraine since many may isolate themselves during an attack. Working remotely may help cut down on attacks if the commute is difficult, time-consuming, or stressful.
Hand washing: Try to stick to plain soap and water and, if possible, avoid products with strong odors that might trigger an attack.
Face touching: It is recommended that people try not to touch their face or eyes to avoid spreading the virus. We recognize that may be difficult for people with migraine who commonly hold their head or rub their temples during an attack, but it is especially key to be mindful of keeping your hands from your head and face. If you use a neuromodulation device that stimulates the head, face, or neck, be sure to disinfect it beforehand.
Self-care: Sudden lifestyle changes can trigger an attack so it’s important to maintain a regular schedule that includes adequate sleep and regular mealtimes—and managing stress. Free apps for relieving stress include Insight Timer; Smiling Mind; Stop, Breathe & Think; and UCLA Mindful.
Exercise: To avoid being sedentary while you shelter in place, try to stay active. While exercise may trigger an attack for some people, it’s also been shown to prevent migraine in others. Exercise also helps you maintain a healthy weight, which is crucial as obesity is associated with severe forms of migraine. Look online for free fitness or yoga classes or take a walk with a friend while staying six feet apart.
Food: A high-fiber, low-fat diet, rich in fresh fruits and vegetables may help boost your immune system. Everyone has different food triggers, so avoid any foods you know are associated with attacks.
Doctors’ appointments: Since most neurology and headache clinics are restricting non-essential visits, contact your provider about telehealth services. For those who are treated with nerve or sphenopalatine ganglion blocks, trigger points, or Botox injections for chronic migraine, the American Migraine Foundation recommends postponing treatments for eight weeks. If you consider these treatments essential and feel that withholding them may worsen your migraines and possibly result in more visits to the emergency department or increased disability, call your physician and discuss your concerns and a treatment plan.
Medication: Be sure you have enough refills of acute and preventive medications for three to six months. If your current medication does not control your attacks or you have to postpone injections, talk to your doctor about an alternative prevention option. Patients who take preventive medications such as candesartan (Atacand) or lisinopril (Prinivil, Zestril) were initially advised to talk to their doctor about continued use if they become COVID-19 positive, because these drugs were thought to make symptoms worse. A recent paper published in JAMA Cardiology provides reassurance that these drugs will not make symptoms worse and several professional societies recommend continued use. Patients and their doctors should also take into consideration the risks and benefits of using steroids for prolonged migraine attacks. Anyone taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) drugs (for example, ibuprofen) should know that no evidence suggests NSAIDs will worsen COVID-19 infections, but they might suppress a fever thus masking one of the warning signs of COVID-19, according to the World Health Organization.
