New York (Vocus) February 1, 2010 -- Valentine’s Day can be exciting and romantic, but in one of life’s extraordinary ironies, the sweetest holiday gifts - chocolate, wine, perfume and other scented products, along with rich foods, flowers and, yes, even sex – also happen to be among the most reliable headache pain triggers.
With 100 million Americans enduring regular headaches, that kind of Valentine’s Day vexation could threaten to ruin the romance, were it not for some easy strategies to diffuse discomfort.
Alexander Mauskop, MD, founder of the New York Headache Center and creator of Dr. Mauskop’s Migralex™ (http://www.migralex.com/), the highly effective headache remedy available without a prescription, has great advice for those at risk for Valentine’s Day headaches. His suggestions include:
1) Instead of dark chocolate, opt for less-potent milk chocolate, which dilutes the candy’s caffeine and other additives and may be less likely to cause a headache. Alternatively, consider opting for more soothing peppermint treats, infused with a substance known to enhance mental performance and increase the pain threshold. Also, keep a good headache medicine such as Dr. Mauskop’s Migralex™ or another standard pain reliever nearby. That way, you can have your chocolate and eat it, too.
2) Beware of the red wines, which contain colorin
