<s>[INST] Gender:Female Age: 32 History: High Fever-- Fell down hit my head--- Hospitalized for 1 month--- Diagnosed with seizure disorder--- Now I get an aura everytime I don t get enough sleep, if I am stimulated, depressed or anxious. I noticed I get aura after I consumed spicy food. What would be some suggestions on how to avoid auras and seizures? [/INST] Hi,Thanks for writing in.While the spices by itself might not lead to migraine headaches, tyramine, an amino acid commonly found in foods can cause symptoms leading to headaches. This substance is usually found in foods of Chinese preparation and  also old or fermented foods. Common foods triggering migraine are Chocolate, Pork, Cheese and other diary products, Seafood, Citrus fruits and fruit juices, Onions, Wheat, Marmite, Coffee and tea (caffeine) and Alcohol.Please be selective in avoiding foods as the same food might not cause migraines in everyone. You might tick off certain foods which you consumed as spicy foods. </s>
