About 1/3 of all migraine sufferers are helped by avoiding certain foods or drugs. The following list includes the most common problem foods.
Monosodium Glutamate (MSG), also labeled Autolyzed Yeast Extract, Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein, or Natural Flavoring: Major sources of MSG include certain soups, Chinese food and "fast" food, soy sauce, yeast, yeast extract, meat tenderizers (Accent), and seasoned salt. Many salad dressings also contain MSG. We advise you not to frequent restaurants that are unable to eliminate MSG from their food. If you turn red after eating something, it may have MSG in it. Headaches an hour or so after eating is the most common timing.
Sulfites (Potassium Metabisulfite). Used as a preservative on salads, seafood, avocado dip. Found naturally in wine and beer. Usually causes asthma symptoms, but can also cause headache.
Alcohol. Red wine, Beer, etc. Red wine is the most likely and vodka is the least likely alcoholic beverage to cause a migraine. Tension headaches may be relieved by alcohol, as opposed to migraine which is often worsened by alcohol.
Chocolate. Includes carob. Chocolate may cause a delayed effect -- the caffeine in chocolate prevents an early headache.
Cheeses, especially ripened or aged cheese (Colby, Roquefort, Brie, Gruyere, Cheddar, Bleu Cheese, Mozzarella, Parmesan, Boursalt, Romano). Cheeses less likely to trigger headache are cottage cheese and American cheese. Pizza may be a problem food. Headaches about 1 or 2 hours after eating are common pattern.
Caffeine. This is complicated. Overuse of caffeine may increase headaches via rebound. Some very sensitive people may develop rebound from as little as 30 mg, but in most people it takes 500 mg of caffeine/day (5 cups coffee).
Caffeine Content:
cup of coffee 100 mg/cup
"decaf" coffee 4 mg/cup
Tea 40 mg/cup
Chocolate 10 mg/ounce
Nitrates -- found in meat and certain medications for blood pressure and chest pain. Examples of foods are bacon, packaged lunch meats, sausage, hot dogs. Nitroglycerin, Isordil are examples of medications.
Take 2 Excedrine. And sleep it off in a pitch black, cold room.
have sex. i know it sounds silly but it releases endorphins in your brain that help with headaches. so go get laid hee hee
Sometimes if I have a headache I just need some caffeine.Drink a coke, or coffee and take some ibuprofen.
caffeine.
Take a tylenol and try to relax...
With the hot weather it could be a bit of dehydration. Most people think they are drinking enough "water" but are way behind, by the time you get the headache it's too late so drink up. Another reason could be an iron deficiency. Try eating leafy greens and red meat. Either way, if it's persistent you should probably see your Doc.
i take 2 advil with a glass of coke, pepsi or mountain dew it will work with in a few minutes.
There is no medicine for H/A OR MIGRAINE. Not only these but for almost all painful diseases. Hence they become chronic.
Acidity, excessive wind, cold , heat, sour food and sinusitis, constipation, intestinal inflammation;
Blockage in the flow of Vital Energy 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.
Avoid late sleeping if possible;spicy, sour, stale bakery foods and alcohole.
Sweet foods, sweet fruits, COCOANUT WATER, milk, rice and good sleep will help you.
But you try one herbal remedy- two drops of drumstick leaves' juice in opposite nostril if one side pains and both nostrils if full H/A will give you rescue. Betel leaf helps but it isvery strong.
If it is acute pl search a painful point 3-6 mm behind your thumb nail and press it, H/A will disappear within 30 seconds.
