Eating healthy definitely helps prevent them...too much coffee or sugar will affect your head and cause too many fluctuations in health, causing your body to react. Massaging your temples can help, or sitting in a quiet & completely dark room for a little while can calm things down. Those are never fun...good luck!

Put the coffee down, grab two 12 to 16 oz glasses of gatorade and go to a cool dark room. Drink the gatorade within 30 minutes. Over sleeping means you were not drinking and you CAN get headaches from dehydration when you do not feel dehydrated. Coffee will only further aggravate a true migraine and will only add to your dehydration if that is the case. Caffeine is no good for either. If you do not have any gatorade grab a can of chicken broth or chicken soup out of the pantry and eat it without crackers and drink a huge glass of orange juice. The soup has sodium and the oj sugar and both have fluids your body needs. Not as quick as Gatorade (or the store brand) but beats driving to the store with a headache. Get well soon.

I take Excedrin Migraine (2 pills if it's really bad; 1 if I catch it in time). Then I go into a completely dark room (even unplug digital alarm clocks) with one of those soft, fabric-like ice packs and place it on the back of my neck (wrapped in a kitchen hand towel). I lay down for like 10-15 minutes and usually I'm better by then.

Get hold of an accupressure book - I have one with a routine that I go through when I get the aura just before the headache - and it really works. I usually take nurofen plus as well but a couple of times I haven't had any and just doing the accupressure is enough to relieve the pain.

First find out what is causing the migraine. Then figure out how to treat it. And not everything that fits the symptoms of a migraine is a migraine.
