#1 drink about 1/2 gallon of water per day - the head of neurorology at UCDavis (about 10 years ago) likened a car low on oil to a body low on water (engine siezing up).
#2 Daily muscle relaxer (1 or 2 swigs of molasses or 1 or 2 bananas) they contain magnesium and potassium.
#3 Massage therapy - professional or read The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook by Davies (it teaches you how). The principle that causes the headaches regardless of how severe is that muscles get knots (trigger points), which make the muscles stay tight, which press on nerves.
Your back, shoulders, neck and everywhere on your head will definitely play into the cause and it will take a while to get all the trigger points to go away.

Migraine headaches are torture! They can come from lots of things or a combination. Lack of sleep, stress sudden anxiety, constipation and allergies etc. There are very strong prescription pain killers and relaxants that can help, One is called imitrex,usually given by injection. Sleep it off and keep a diary so you can show the doctor the cause and effect history. Could be high blood pressure.,also sexual activity can bring it on if it is stressful to do it.
Have your vision checked by an eye doctor.

Migraines are caused by first vasospasm then vasodilatation in the brain and surrounding blood vessels. The aura some people experience (flashing lights, ears ringing) is in the vasospasm faze and the pain and throbbing in the vasodilatation faze. There are many triggers for migraine, foods, lack of sleep, etc., they are individual to you. You should see your doctor. They can prescribe medication to treat and if necessary prevent future attacks, and discuss possible triggers for you.

Migraines are usually caused by stress.. There is meds you can take when you do see the sparkling lights and stops it but you need to talk to a doctor for the prescription. And be very careful how much you take with that stuff its nothing to OD on..

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

My wife used to have migraines like this; however, now she is on relpax and it has helped her tremendously.
Go see a doctor and see if he can prescribe something for you.
