Migraine help please?


Question:
I went to sleep with a migrain and woke up with a migrain.. I took over 1,600 milgrams of ibprofen and still feel terrible.. any solutions ?

Answers:
sounds wierd, but coca cola may help right now, the sugars and the caffeine do something to help relieve the pressure,( Tylenol brand "headache medicine" is simply caffeine and tylenol!) also a hot foot bath, and cool ice pack on your forehead/neck..the hot water is supposed to pull the blood to the feet and release pressure in the head.Gravol helps to relax and ease the nausea as well.I know these sound crazy but.If it is a migraine, and not a tension headache (similar horrible symptoms) a doctor can help with a nasal spray..or if needed go to emergency and they'll give you demoral (yikes!)

Other Answers:
Try a large cup of strong coffee.

Try Excedrin Migrain, it does WONDERS!! Also, caffine really triggers migrains, try to avoid it for a little while.
I have heard that coffee is a quick fix but that usually it will come back even worse later.


The special Advil for Migraines helps me. You probably need to see your doctor if it has hung on for so long. When I get a migraine, I lose half the sight in my right eye and see a lot of swirly things. It's awful! I sympathize. Good luck. Watch the Ibuprofen, it can really upset your stomach.
