There is a difference in a headache and Migraine Syndrome. The syndrome indicating more than one symptom.
To prevent one is the avenue of choice. As yours seem to appear coincidental with the swelling associated with menses, it would behoove you to seek the help of a doctor of Chiropractic during the quiescent state.. In between periods when there are no symptoms.
There is usually a structural (postural) problem associated with those having headaches. When one considers there is more than 50% of the populace having an anatomical short leg, which sets the accommodation process in motion.. Just to keep the head above the feet..As a result, you will find considerable tenderness at the base of the skull on one side. The initiating point for your headache.

Avoid salt starting about 5 days before your period. If you can tolerate caffeine try taking an over the counter pain medication that contains caffeine..such as Excedrin. There are also over the counter migraine meds made by Tylenol and Ibuprofen that contain caffeine. Caffeine will help the blood vessels open back up in the brain and stop the pain. Also try a moist heat pack..Like a rice sock..put it at the base of your neck.

Headache is a pain in the head, scalp or neck. Headaches can be
caused by minor problems like eyestrain, lack of coffee or more
serious reasons like head injury, brain tumors, encephalitis and
meningitis. Taking painkillers continuously can have harmful side
effects, so it is better to modify your lifestyle. More information

It's just a blood clot and it's totally normal to get these during your period. If you see one that is bigger than a golf ball then you need to see the doctor, but anything smaller is safe and normal. It's just made by all the blood sticking together because there is so much in there. Nothing to worry about.

I would speak to your doctor about this, but my friend Missy gets really bad migranes and she just avoids her triggers around that time of the month which are caffeine, chocolate (unfair) and loud noises. Also she sees her chiropractor at the first sign of symptons.
Good luck!
