Answer 3

migraines are mainly caused by stress. However they are not comparable to a regular head ache although painkillers can sometimes help get rid of the head ache they will not get rid of the pressure you will experience in your head and on your eyes(mainly due to irritation from light. My own remedy against migraine is very simple drink plenty of water and stay in the dark; or keep your eyes shut (a good tip if you suffer from migraine: buy yourself a pair of dark red sunglasses. They make all colours very faint; this way you can still walk around the house and not be to bothered with the light shining in.)

Answer 4

All pills have side effects, it's better to get rid of the stress factor.

Answer 5

Migraines can be caused by stress. If you learn how to cope with stress...any stress...you will get fewer migraines. Look into some self help books, especially ones that deal with anxiety (The Anxiety and Phobia Workbook comes to mind...an excellent book). You will find lots of techniques that reduce stress in there.

Answer 6

Some theories [ eg in psychotherapy ] would say that Migraine is a symptom / somatic represention of an underlying emotional condition, strees being one, therefore it would be better to treat the condition therapeutically to relieve the symptom.

Sure use medication [ be aware of potential side effects ] to alleviate the immediate discomfort but then think of looking at why the symptom is presenting..

Go Well...
