At what age is it possible to start having migraines?!


Question: I suffer from migraines and have done since I was a teenager. My daughter, who is eight, showed all the classic symptoms (from tunnel vision followed by headache followed by being sick and then needing to sleep) yesterday. Can she really be getting a migraine at eight years old?

Absolutely, she can be experiencing migraines at this early age. If you have them she is doubly at risk. From my own experience, I started having them at around age 10, but did not get the prodromes until after puberty. Take her to the doctor (GP or Neurologist) so that she can be evaluated. No child should have to endure the pain of migraine...it made concentrating in school unbearable at times for me. Good luck!

I started having migraines when I was in grammar school and outgrew them when I went through puberty around 13 or so. So yes it is possible to have them at an early age. I had the classic symptoms also, tunnel vision,bothered by lights(I had to be in a darkened room)throbbing pain,vomiting,everything seemed loud to me. No one else in my family every suffered from them that I am aware of.

No age.
Reasons and remedies are many, but pl see what suits you.
If you are in cold country use all warm things.

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.

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, all cold things, 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. If cough use warm things.

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.
