When you have a migraine (and you KNOW I am a fellow sufferer) it is both because of a chemical imbalance in the brain AND the fact that your narrowed blood vessels suddenly opened and hit your brain hard with blood.
First - caffeine re-narrows the vessels to slow the blood flow and stop that pounding sensation.
Second - your brain needs Vitamin B-3 (Niacin) and the protein amino acid L-phenynalalanine.
A couple B Complex Vitamins and Protein tablets can re-order your brain chemistry. (It isn't good to always take that protein completely by itself.)
This protien is found in many diet sodas - so a diet coke would also give you the caffeine... however - the saccharine or Nutrasweet can also cause headaches. (Sigh.)
Ginger soothes the nausea - so Ginger Ale or Ginger Tea is perfect for this.
Peppermint relaxes muscles, like those in the neck - making the pain lesson... so I pop Altoids like asperin.
With these - and Tylenol, I can sometimes break mine in 30 minutes flat without having to go for the Imitrex.
I hope these help.
Peace.
take a hot bath and turn the lights off and listen to some soothing music. also try rubbing your ear lobs with your index finger and your thumb in a clockwise motion for about 5 minutes, if you have somebody else that can do it for you, thats even better.
Unfortunately, I've never been able to get rid of a true migraine without medication.
..and I'm a believer in holistic medicine at times.
The only things that have ever worked for me have been Imitrex and Axert.
Sorry :(
I do find that, no matter how small the relief, it seems to help a bit to be in a very cold, dark room, lying very still.
I'm so sorry you're experiencing a migraine. I know how miserable and debilitating they can be.
Whatever solution you find, I hope you feel relief soon.
Peace to you
CAFFEINE. The best over-the-counter medicine is Exedrin Migraine.
Your GB Meridian seems excessive with blockage at neck.
Reasons and remedies are many, but pl see what suits you.
If you are in cold country use all warm things.
Pl try cold water bath and observe if in hot country, if pain increases use warm.
If you have cough/cold body hot water bath will help.
Massage and exercise in front of morning sun is good thing, pl try.
Pl try simple acupressure given below for immediate relief.
If it fails you will have to go for Acupuncture.
There is hardly any medicine for H/A OR MIGRAINE. Not only these but for RA, OA, Back ache, Ear ache/ringing, Stomach 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, BODY CONSTITUTION 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, tension, spicy foods, sour fruits, stale bakery foods, SMOKING and alcohole.
Sweet foods, COCOANUT WATER,sweet fruits like dates, 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 (with round tipped pen/jimmy) 3-6 mm behind your thumb nail and press it, H/A will disappear within 30 seconds.
For forehead/eye pain the points are in front of nails on the finger tips or 3-7 mm below.
It may disappear naturally too.

It has been my experience, precious one, that there is a source that is causing them. I have in the past taken a hot shower, turn the jets on in the tub, massage with tiger balm, chiropractor or massage chair. I really just like to avoid them all together now, no MSG, diet is important, cut down on sugar intake, drink more water. I do take pain killers if my sleep is being interrupted or if I feel that any of the above will not help. Above all prayer, if you believe, will always help the situation.
