Answer 2

Unfortunately there is no way to prevent migraines but you can try to manage them. I agree with a lot of the other answers- drinking plenty of water is always good. The main thing to remember is that everybody is different. What works for one person may not work for the next person. So it's important for you to keep a migraine diary or journal so you can write down everything that happened before your migraine- including what you ate, your stress levels, the weather, etc., as all these can be migraine triggers. Once you figure out what your triggers are, you may be able to stay away from those things and lessen the frequency.

There are daily medications you can take like Topomax- but they don't prevent migraines, they just help to lessen the frequency and in some cases the intensity. Also there are a number of products specifically for migraine pain. I've tried all of them but the one that works best for me is the Imitrex 100mg tablets.

Good luck, I know and understand your pain because I have lived with migraines for over 20 years. Best wishes to you.

Feverfew. However, you must take it every day and not expect results for about a month. Alot of herbal remedies have to be given time and people are too impatient. However, if you give it the time, it should work. Also skullcap is good for stress and so is valerian. Also get a good book on deep breathing, and learn to deep breathe every day whenever you think about a migraine. A good book on Yoga with breathing exercises would help

Answer 4

Caffeine helps some people; you might try the Excedrin Migraine formula, which has caffeine in it. If you are able to safely take Sudafed (i.e., no high blood pressure), taking 60 mg along with a dose of Tylenol/acetominophen helps many people. Staying in a cool, dark room helps many migraine sufferers, as does sleep. If you have them frequently or severely, it's time to get to a doctor - there are some good prescription medications available.

Answer 5

There is no shortage of headache relief medicines on the market. And painkillers have their place. Take acetaminophen, aspirin or ibuprofen according to package directions at the first sign of a headache. You can often nip it in the bud.

But then again, if headache relief were that simple, you wouldn't be asking this question. Or perhaps you're interested in a nondrug approach. If you have a headache right now, the tips that follow will help you feel better fast. Some will work for tension headaches, others may help your migraines and some just might help you prevent your next headache, whichever kind it is. :) Women doctors agree that it's a good idea to experiment: Headache remedies work differently for different headaches, for different women, at different times.

Thumbs up, pain down. Place your thumbs right in the center of each temple. Massage firmly using a circular motion for a minute or two, or until you feel relief. If I catch it early enough, I find that I can sometimes stop a headache.

Take a hot bath or shower. This may further help your muscles relax.

Visualize away your headache. Imagine that your headache pain is caused by a rope that's knotted and wrapped tightly around your head. Then concentrate hard on seeing it unknot, inch by inch. Watch as it slowly loosens and falls away from your head.

Try necking with a heating pad. When you have a stiff neck, you can get a headache, because the stiff muscles hurt and cause pain that can be felt in your head. Remedy? Apply a heating pad to the back of your neck to soothe the stiffness.

Ice a migraine. For easing migraines, ice usually works better than heat, most likely because of its action as a vasoconstrictor--it shrinks blood vessels pressing on nerve endings. A resealable plastic bag full of ice, wrapped in a kitchen towel, works.

Feverfew for you? For occasional headaches take the herb feverfew. Research on feverfew suggests that it can be effective as a headache remedy; I've used it with success. I recommend taking two feverfew capsules (available at health food stores) three times a day until your headache is gone. Studies indicate that feverfew has anti-inflammatory properties, which is why it might be particularly effective for migraine headaches.

Lie down in a dark room. If you have migraines lying down in a darkened room and napping for an hour or so can usually make the headache history.

Have a snack. You can get headaches from just being hungry, because your blood sugar drops.

Always be aware of when you last ate. Try eating smaller meals, spread more frequently throughout the day.

Take a coffee break. If you feel a migraine coming on, go someplace quiet and have a strong cup of coffee. Take aspirin or ibuprofen according to package instructions. Like ice, caffeine acts as a vasoconstrictor, which seems to help migraines.

Or, do the caffeine wean. The surprising thing about caffeine is that either too much or lack of it can trigger pain. Too much caffeine can lead to headaches, because of an increase in tension or a decrease in sleep (or both). Consuming less than the usual amount of caffeine can lead to very painful withdrawal headaches. Frequently, weekday coffee or cola drinkers may drink less on weekends, and they get fierce withdrawal headaches. If you get headaches, give up caffeinated drinks slowly and gradually--by four to six ounces a day--perhaps by diluting regular brew with decaf until you're finally caffeine-free. You should also substitute eight cups a day of noncaffeinated liquids, such as water, juices, skim milk or herbal teas.

Keep a headache diary. Both tension and migraine headaches can have triggers. Your monthly cycle can affect headaches, too. I suggest that you log the time of day and month, the foods, activities, moods--anything that could possibly trigger a headache. After a couple of weeks, read your diary. See if anything obvious is causing your headaches and avoid the source if you possibly can.

It's a very individual thing. For many, chocolate can be a migraine trigger--though it doesn't trigger my migraines--but red wine will immediately send me right around the bend.

Avoid migraine triggers. Avoid the most common offenders: that is, foods that have been aged, fermented, pickled or marinated. Other reputed problem foods are those containing monosodium glutamate, or MSG (such as canned soups), nitrates or nitrites (such as lunchmeats).

And some added help:

Once a migraine takes hold, it's a bugger to relieve.

Restock your magnesium. I read about an Italian study that indicates that people with migraines are likely to have lower blood levels of magnesium than non-migraine-sufferers, and suggests that magnesium supplements for people with migraines warrant further study. Good food sources of magnesium include green leafy vegetables, legumes, seafood, nuts and whole grains.

Regulate sleep patterns. People who work irregular shifts have trouble with their migraines. Circadian rhythms seem to play a part in migraines. Try to get to sleep and wake up at the same times each day and don't sleep late on weekends. Also, avoid napping during the day, as this may change your circadian rhythms.

Give aspirin a chance. An aspirin a day may keep migraines away. The problem with some of the prescription drugs used to try and prevent migraines (like beta and calcium channel blockers, antidepressants and mood-regulating drugs) is that they are like hitting a little problem with an awfully big hammer. Taking a regular 325-milligram aspirin tablet every other day, regularly, cut repeat migraine attacks by 20 percent. It might not work for everyone, but it's definitely worth trying, because if it works, it's an easy, inexpensive and relatively safe solution.

Hope this helps you. :)

Answer 7

agree with babytalk,get a time history of your migraine by writing down the exact time you get them. it normally is as good as a clockwork. so the next time you know you are about to get one, drink black coffee or coke 30 minutes before it will hit you. try to also see if there is "something" like colors or emotions that triggers it. if this is the case, simply avoid and relax

Answer 8

I find for me that Herbal Supplements combined with an herbal tea ( i usually drink mint tea ) Takes the edge off quite a bit. If you enjoy the smell of incense there are several herbal "stress-relieving" forms of incense that you could try to help you relax. I also suggest visiting a chiropractor or massues
