When you have a migraine, you are sensitive to almost everything around you. The Sun and general lighting can be too bright, sounds may be too loud, or certain smells can intensify the migraine pain. There are some things you can do to help minimize the pain and get on with your day.
Cool Towel or Ice PackApplying a cold towel or ice pack to your head can help to relieve your migraine by constricting the blood vessels. The cool feeling of the towel or ice pack may also relax you. This is best to be used while lying down in a dark room.
Use MentholatumThe cooling action is coupled with a deep heating action that can help to relieve a full blown migraine. Also, the vapors from the mentholatum can help to calm the nerves.
Onset and Prevention Migraine MedicationConsulting your doctor to see what would be best for your particular type of migraine headache is the key. Depending on the severity, length, frequency, and if you have problems with your vision, can dictate what type of migraine medication that your doctor prescribes. The onset medication can work immediately in the case of a migraine attack, while the migraine prevention medication can be taken daily to prevent future attacks.
AcupunctureMany people have tried alternative medicine to find relief from migraine headaches. Migraine sufferers find that acupuncture can shorten the frequency and severity of the migraine, as well as relax you.
Change your DietCertain foods can be migraine triggers for some people. Sometimes trial and error or process of elimination is the only way to figure out what foods may be causing your migraine. Artificial sweeteners, Pizza, potato chips, peanuts, yeast goods, blue cheeses, Hot Dogs, products containing MSG, and certain fruits such as red plums, kiwi, papaya, and raspberries can all be potential food triggers for migraines. It helps to keep a food diary, and write down the things that you eat for a month, and when a migraine attack occurs, you can figure out which food caused it.
