What can I do about my migraines?!


Question: I've had two in two weeks, one lasting three days, and the other (thankfully) only lasted one day. But I don't know whats causing them! Does anyone else get them too?
If I see a doctor, what can they do about it?

I got migraines from taking microgynon so I started taking a different type of contraceptive pill and my Mum's friend used to get them when she ate eggs so it could be stress or an allergic reaction.

Migraines can be caused by stress, smells, foods, time of the month all sorts of different things, I get them but not as bad as I used to, the worst I had was for 2 week, I thought I was going to die and tried all sorts of different things but found something called migraleave they are great. Consist of 2 tablets pink and yellow.

If you go see your GP they will ask you questions about your lifestyle as that is what mainly causes a migraine, think about things you may have eaten that you don't usually eat or a different perfume, have you been worrying about something or been over active in some way or another. Sometimes it can be as simple as a process of elimination.

I've had migraines since I was a preteen. I went to doctor after doctor for years! Finally I have found a neurologist who proscribed Topamax for the migraines . It is a seizure medication that is also used for migraines. I take one pill a night and don't have those hideous headaches anymore! I have only occasional break through like once every 2 or 3 months

Cold cloth , dark quiet room , maybe some soothing music and some pain killers might help a bit
