People do get hospitalized for migraine headaches.
The two main reasons people are admitted for a hospital stay for migraines are when the person's migraine continues longer than 72 hours and when the nausea and vomiting are unable to be controlled, which can cause severe dehydration.
1. When a person's migraine lasts longer than 72 hours that person is in status migrainous. The person will be admitted to the hospital to try and break the migraine cycle with IV medication. It is not just about controlling the symptoms, but about stopping the entire migraine process.
2. When a migraine causes extended nausea and vomiting, not only is a person unable to take medication by mouth which might help end the migraine, but they can become severely dehydrated. Many times the emergency department can help this by administering anti-nausea medications and rehydrating via IV. But in rare instance, it will take more than a liter or two of saline. Admission to the hospital becomes more common if the person has another medical problem that requires medication or food, such as Diabetes or a seizure disorder.

Can birth control help contol the migraines that are cause by your period?
When it comes to migraines, birth control can be tricky. For some people, being on birth control can cause more migraines. For some people, being on birth control can reduce their migraines. For some people, there is no change at all. There is a small risk, that birth control can cause strokes. People who have classic migraines (or migraine with aura) also have this small risk. So being on birth control can increase the risk for stroke that those type of migraines already increase the chance of. It is a small risk, but it is something to be aware of. It is just like being aware that if you smoke while on birth control, you increase your chance of stroke. Just another factor to discuss with your doctor.
Is migraine caused by some bacteria or virus?
They say no they are not. But I had migraines from puberty on and then after I had my first baby I never got them ever again. I just had my second baby and still no more migraines. She is almost 2 now I was so happy! I have a friend that started getting migraines so bad all the time she had to go out of state for testing and treatment. They have not been able to control her migraines at all. My husband and I went out to dinner with her and I told my husband if I start getting migraines again then they are a virus. I didn't want to be around this person because I was scared what if. And sure enough a few weeks later I started in with my migraines after 10 years of not having them at all! What gives? What if it is a weird virus or bacteria? Have they researched this at all? I can't find anything where they have. The weather has been weird lately so they tell me it is the pressure. I just find it strange that I start getting them right after being around my girlfriend. Just a thought. Do they really know? Time will tell.
