why do i get migraines every day?

Answer 1

I have had migraines for many years and I also specialize in headache management for that reason. Here is what I will tell you...

Headaches are complex problems and there is no easy solution. It is best to find out the source/cause of your recurrent or chronic headaches.
The easy things normally work for the bulk of people Paracetamol/Acetaminophen/Tylenol or aspirin (I prefer Excedrin personally) go to a darkened quiet room and lie down. Avoid bright lights and prolonged computer use. I will tell you that in the Excedrin Migraine there is 250 mg of Aspirin, 250 mg of Tylenol, and 65 mg of caffeine in each tablet. Aspirin has a ceiling effect at 800 mg so taking 1000 mg does not help but does increase the risk of gastric bleeding. Tylenol is generally effective at 650 mg, so if you are going to exceed the bottle directions take no more than 3 tablets at a time, any more just waste your money and risk side effects for no medical benefit.

If you are having recurrent or chronic headaches you need to see a health care provider. They can pick the proper abortive medication for the acute headache and possibly prescribe a preventive medication if your headaches are too frequent. There are numerous medications out there, some have been mentioned by the above responders, but as they are prescription, and as you need to know all about the headaches to select the proper medication, that should be left to the physician, or nurse practitioners.

If you feel you need to see a doctor, I recommend that you go to the following site prior to your visit:

http://www.headaches.org

In the consumer area, see the educational resources tab.

Print and fill out the headache diary as shown.

People say there are several causes for migraines, and this is not thought to be the case. The actual cause is not proven, but there is a current consensus theory. What people often say are causes are actually called triggers, they do not cause the headaches, but they can trigger the effect. There are activities and foods to be avoided, however, each person's triggers are individual. This is the purpose for the diary noted above. It helps you to discover your triggers so they can be avoided or eliminated.

See the How to talk to your headache doctor page. This will help you know what information is important to report so the doctor can properly diagnose and treat your headaches.

I also recommend the page on diet.

Another key page for you might be the page on analgesic rebound. It is rare for even chronic migraineurs to have daily migraine type headache. However, migraineurs due to the severity of their headaches and the need for medications to treat them frequently get into a condition called Chronic Daily Headaches. This is actually the worst headache condition to treat of all the conditions a patient can get. It requeires careful management, usually by a headache specialist. Frequently it even requires a short course of hospitalization to break the headache cycle, and get the patient on an appropriate headache prevention. If you are having daily headaches, you need to see your doctor, explain the daily nature of the headaches, and request not only medication,but a referral to a specialist in headache management.

Do not take Imitrex of any one else’s migraine medication without a health care provider’s approval. I have seen patients with severe hypertensive crisis bordering stroke and cardiac problems due to taking a medication which was inappropriate for them. Also there are some types of migraine which are not recommended for the new migraine wonder drugs, ie. Hemiplegic and basilar artery migraines.

There are many non medication methods which are beneficial also, such as biofeedback, and acupuncture. I also feel that chiropractic can be beneficial for some forms of migraine, but in some forms it can cause permanent disability and possibly death. I advise you have a diagnosis of the type of migraine and be clear to try chiropractic before trying any alternative techniques.

I will warn you not to believe anyone who says they can cure headaches 100% of the time. Everyone can be helped, and everyone can be made better. But nobody can completely stop the headaches of every patient that comes through the doors. If they say they can, they are deceiving either themselves or you!

Seek the assistance of your primary care clinic and if no improvement a specialist in headaches.

As a fellow migraine sufferer, I wish you the best.

Taking Tylenol is fine, just take half the max dose on the label every 6 hours. Try extra strength Tylenol. (just remember, half max dose and wait 6 hours in between and you will be fine. Ask your doctor.) Migraines differ in strength and intensity, not all are "debilitating" as some have stated. If the Tylenol that was given to you is not strong enough, tell your doctor and he will either prescribe something better or give you a written letter stating that you will not be able to go to work because of the migraines, and give you the ones that make you sleep.

Answer 4

There are a number of external influences that suggest migraines and you'll want to exclude those first. One of the ones that I did early on was to eliminate chocolate: this was damn difficult, but helped the migraines. I also worked on avoiding foods with msg, which also helped. What I didn't realize, nor did any doctors I saw (10+), was that the migraines were a _symptom_ rather than a disease. Once I was treated for the underlying cause, the migraines have disappeared.

Answer 10

There is no medicine for H/A OR MIGRAINE. Not only these but for RA, OA, Back ache and almost all painful diseases. Hence they become chronic.

Acidity, WORRY, sadness, excessive wind, cold , heat, sour food and sinusitis, constipation, intestinal inflammation; drug side effects, stress, bad smell, TV & COMPUTER SOMETIMES,
Blockage in the flow of Vital Energy etc are their causes. None of them can be treated with medicine. Our 100% success in treating migraine &H/A confirms it.

Acupuncture is the best treatment.
I can treat it with naturopathy and YOG, but how can you manage pl see.

Pain killers don't treat the pain but we loose the sense of pain for some time; in that duration our body itself treats sometime and credit goes to meds.
The useless drugs have tremendous power of side effects like liver/kidney failures, ulcer, inflammation of intestines and lot more.
Avoid late sleeping if possible; worry, spicy foods, sour fruits, stale bakery foods and alcohole.
Sweet foods, COCOANUT WATER,sweet fruits, milk, rice, SPROUTS, SALADS and good sleep will help if cough is not there.

But you try one herbal remedy- two drops of drumstick leaves' juice in opposite nostril if one side pains and both nostrils if full H/A will give you rescue. Betel leaf helps but it is very strong.

If it is acute pl search a painful point 3-6 mm behind your thumb nail and press it, H/A will disappear within 30 seconds.

For forehead pain the points are in front of nails on the finger tips or 3-7 mm below.
It may disappear naturally too.
