與偏頭痛相關的健康風險
More than migraines
不只是偏頭痛If you get migraine headaches, you have a higher risk of also having one of several other health conditions. Or, you might be at greater risk for developing another condition in the future. Migraines have been tied to concerns ranging from depression to asthma to heart disease.
如果你偏頭痛，那麼你患其它健康疾病的風險就會更高。亦或者，將來你患有其它疾病的風險會更高。偏頭痛與多種疾病緊密相關，從抑鬱症到哮喘再到心臟病，不一而足。That can make treating migraines more difficult; what works for one person might not work for another. But if you do happen to have migraines and another condition, you might actually have a treatment benefit: "You [may be able to] make two things better with one drug," Dr. Lipton says. Keep an eye out for signs and symptoms of these other conditions.
這會使治療偏頭痛更加困難；對這個人有用的治療方法可能並不適用於另一個人。但如果你又有偏頭痛又有其它症狀，那你可能真的能從治療中獲益："雖然你可能只吃一種藥，但卻能治好兩種病，"利普頓醫生說道。一定要注意其它疾病的症狀和跡象哦！
Depression
抑鬱If you have "episodic" migraines (those that occur once in a while), you have double the risk of depression than someone without any migraines. If you have chronic migraines (15 or more days a month), your risk doubles again, says Dr. Lipton, also a professor and vice chair of neurology at Albert Einstein College of Medicine.
如果你患有"偶發性"偏頭痛（偶爾偏頭痛），那相比那些沒有偏頭痛的人來說，你患抑鬱症的風險是他們的兩倍。如果你患有慢性偏頭痛（每個月會偏頭痛15天或以上），你患抑鬱症的風險會再增加一倍，利普頓醫生說道，他同時還是阿爾伯特·愛因斯坦醫學院的教授及神經學副主席。While it's possible that people with migraines become depressed because of the pain, the depression can also come first. This suggests the two have something in common-genes or neurology or both. "The prevailing belief is that there's some shared underlying predisposition to both disorders, and either one can come first," says Dr. Lipton.
雖然患有偏頭痛的人可能是因爲疼痛而抑鬱，但也有可能是先抑鬱而後偏頭痛。這說明兩者之間有共通點--基因或神經學或兩者兼而有之。"人們的普通看法是，這兩種疾病有着共同的潛在傾向，任何一種疾病都有可能首先出現。"Some antidepressant drugs, notably amitriptyline, can actually treat migraines. Amitriptyline affects levels of the brain chemical serotonin, which raises the possibility that serotonin also plays a role in migraines.
有些抗抑鬱的藥物，特別是阿米替林，真的能治療偏頭痛。阿米替林能影響大腦化學物質血清素的水平，因此血清素在治療偏頭痛的過程中功不可沒也是極有可能的。Anxiety
焦慮People with chronic migraines are even more likely to have an anxiety disorder than they are depression: Around half of people with migraines also have anxiety, according to the American Migraine Foundation.
慢性偏頭痛患者比抑鬱症患者更有可能焦慮。據美國偏頭痛基金會表示，一半左右的偏頭痛患者患有焦慮。Like with depression, the anxiety or the migraines can come first, says Teshamae Monteith, MD, director of the headache program and assistant professor of clinical neurology at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. "Patients that have anxiety in life are more likely to develop migraines, and vice versa."
和抑鬱症一樣，焦慮或偏頭痛都有可能首先發生，邁阿密大學米勒醫學院臨牀神經病學助理教授及頭痛項目主任Teshamae Monteith醫學博士說道。"生活中患有焦慮症的患者更有可能患有偏頭痛，反之亦然。"Sometimes one treatment (often an antidepressant) works for both conditions; other times, people need separate treatments-medications for migraines and behavioral therapy for anxiety disorders. It's important to find an anxiety treatment that works.
有時候一種治療方式（通常是抗抑鬱藥）能治療兩種疾病；其它時候，人們需要不同的治療方式--吃藥緩解偏頭痛、行爲治療治療焦慮症。找到治療焦慮的有效方法十分重要。
