Try an ice pack and go to a quiet room where you can lay down without any bright lights, take some Tylenol or Ibuprofen if you are not allergic, ask your boss if you can go home, and if you do get to go home-take your medicine for your headaches if a doctor prescribed some for you, take a hot bath, and then go to bed. These headaches are nothing to play around with. I get them every once in a while and I usually get pretty sick. An ER doctor prescribed Relpax for me and I will tell you they were a gift from God. After about 15-25 minutes my headache was gone. Hope you feel better.

I have suffered from migraines since I was 10 years old-I am now 50 so I have had 40 years experience. I do know a bit about them. First, you can have a migraine at any time. There is no set pattern-I have gone months and even years without having a single migraine. There are many migraine triggers. Hormones play a big part. That is why women suffer from migraines 3 times more than men. A week before your period is the worst time. I found that birth control pills helped me. Also, sinus problems and allergies as well as hot weather can trigger migraines. Certain foods can also be a trigger-chocolate and sugar are the number 1 offenders. Cheese can also do it. Watch your stress level too. Ask your Doctor about the triptan drugs such as imitrex and maxalt. These are very effective-they are expensive though. I have found that 2 regular excedrin works pretty good most of the time-the trick is to take medicine before your headache gets to bad. Good luck.

Sorry, but there's no quick fixes for migraines. You need to find out what's causing them and try to eliminate whatever is from your life.
Are you on birth control? Because that could be a big cause of the migraines.
Unfortunately, its trial and error in finding out what the cause is. But once you've found out, then you can start getting better.

Migraine Headaches are "triggered". You have to find out, through trial and error, what things or combination of things trigger them.
Could be; Stress, certain foods or beverages, perfumes and other odors, sun, tension, etc.
There are medications you can take, with Dr.'s order, that are both "preventative" and also shots that you administer when you are in the midst of one.
I would start with the Dr. visit.

I have a migrane right now, that's why I am home from school. Drinking water may seem like you have to throw up, but my mom is a doctor and she said that most of the people who come into her work saying they have a migrane are usually seriously dehydrated. Even if you think you drink a lot (juice, milk, pop, ect) you are probably not drinking the recomended water every day. Hope I helped.

unfortunetely there is no quick fix and many things from illness, stress, the weather to any source of food could be causing your migrains. you should go see a neurologist as they would really be the one to help you identify exactly what type of migraine and what is causing it and then giving you something to alleviate the pain. I hope you are feeling better.

Best thing to do is lay down in a quiet room in complete darkness and sleep. Once you fall asleep you should be good.
