Migraine is more than just a 'headache.' For some patients, attacks can involve not only severe or recurrent headaches but also nausea, vomiting, photophobia, phonophobia, and even dizziness or unsteadiness. Especially with vestibular migraine, dizziness can be the primary complaint. Even if the headache isn't severe, it can make you feel like you're on a boat, the world is spinning, or your body is floating, impacting work, driving, going out, and overall quality of life. Dizziness Like Being on a Boat Might Be More Than Just an Ear Problem Some people describe their attacks by saying, 'I'm standing on the ground, but I feel like my body is constantly swaying,' 'I walk like I'm on a boat,' or 'Fast-moving visuals make me uncomfortable.' If these symptoms occur repeatedly, besides ear-related conditions, neurological causes like vestibular migraine should also be considered. The triggers for migraines are diverse, including lack of sleep, stress, irregular eating habits, alcohol, excessive fatigue, and light or sensory stimuli. Therefore, identifying your personal triggers is a crucial part of managing attacks. Treatment Isn't Just About 'Painkillers' Migraine treatment is typically divided into acute and preventive therapies, based on attack frequency, symptom severity, and individual circumstances. During an acute attack, a doctor may prescribe painkillers or specific migraine medications depending on the patient's condition, aiming to control symptoms as early as possible. If attacks are frequent and significantly impact daily life, preventive treatments might be considered, such as certain oral medications, botulinum toxin therapy, or other novel preventive drugs. If dizziness is a major symptom, a doctor may also conduct further evaluations of vestibular function.

During a panic attack, do these 5 things first: 1. Tell yourself: This is a panic response. A racing heart, chest tightness, and rapid breathing can make your brain mistakenly believe there's danger, and the more scared you get, the worse it becomes. You can slowly tell yourself: "I'm having a panic response right now, it doesn't mean there's real danger. It will pass." 2. Don't desperately try to take deep breaths. Many people take big gulps of air during a panic attack, which can actually cause hyperventilation and make dizziness worse. Instead, try this: Inhale slowly through your nose for about 3-4 seconds Exhale slowly for about 5-6 seconds You don't need to inhale deeply Continue for a few minutes The key is to exhale slightly longer than you inhale. 3. Bring your attention back to reality. You can do the "5-4-3-2-1" exercise: Look at 5 things Touch 4 things Listen to 3 sounds Notice 2 smells Taste 1 thing This helps you stop constantly monitoring your heart rate and breathing. 4. Don't keep checking your body. For example, constantly measuring your heart rate or blood pressure, touching your chest, or searching for "Is there something wrong with my heart?" This might offer temporary relief but can easily maintain the panic cycle. 5. Wait for it to pass, don't rush to escape. If a doctor has already diagnosed you with panic disorder, learning to "let the feeling subside without escaping" is an important part of treatment, provided you are in a safe situation. 🧠 For true treatment of panic disorder, the most important things are: Psychotherapy + medication if necessary. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a commonly used treatment method that trains you to re-understand "heart palpitations, chest tightness, and dizziness."

Every Mid-Autumn Festival, many people find themselves overwhelmed by an endless sea of mooncakes. But rumors say that the calories in the wide variety of mooncakes on the market are very high. Dietitian Ding Ning from Lian'an Preventive Medicine Institute's Lian'an Clinic advises everyone: Traditional Cantonese mooncakes are extremely high in calories, with one mooncake equivalent to three bowls of white rice! This is because the crust is made of oily dough, and the filling is high in oil and sugar, containing up to 9 spoonfuls of oil. Dietitian Wang Zhenyun from Lian'an Clinic suggests it's best to share them among multiple people or choose smaller ones. You might also consider grain mooncakes made with whole grains and nuts, which are a healthier, high-fiber option that's easier on the body. The mooncake production process often uses large amounts of starch, sugar, animal fats, and vegetable oils. The calories in a single mooncake can range from 100 to 900 kcal, which is highly dependent on the ingredients used. If you're not careful with portion sizes, it can not only affect your weight but also potentially lead to issues like abnormal blood sugar and blood lipid levels. Choose healthy mooncakes: With rising health consciousness among the public, many businesses are offering reduced-sugar and reduced-oil mooncakes, even incorporating dried fruits or whole grains into their recipes, making them much healthier than regular mooncakes. Check the label for low-calorie options: When buying mooncakes, check the calorie labels. Snow skin mooncakes or steamed mooncakes are relatively lower in calories and good choices. Substitute for main meals: One yolk pastry has the calorie equivalent of one bowl of rice. If you eat a mooncake, it's recommended to halve your usual portion of rice or noodles for lunch or dinner and pair it with low-oil cooked dishes. Share mooncakes: Cut them into 4-6 portions and share with family and friends. This reduces the calories and doubles the delicious happiness. Choose sugar-free beverages: Opt for unsweetened tea and avoid sugary drinks. It satisfies your sweet craving while also reducing...
