I suffer from migraines after playing rugby - any advice?!


Question: I suffer from migraines after playing rugby - any advice!?
I've been to see my GP who have simply told me to take anti-inflammatory tablets before a game and says it's my age (34)! I play prop and therefore get alot of pressure on my neck during a game which I think is the cause of the migraine!. I've read that migraines might be caused by constricted blood vessels etc!. Does anyone else suffer from this!? (I get flashing lights; then partial blindness; then a killer headache that lasts 3-4 hours)!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
