Severe Migraine

Hello, I have had migraines for about three years now, and lately they have been on the right side, a sharp pain, I have pain in the back of my neck, and my eyes feel like something is stabbing them. Do you have any suggestions as to what I should do or take when I have a severe migraine?

“I’ve had migraine headaches since I was in elementary school. I was going to the doctor four, sometimes five times a month and having to get shots to get rid of these headaches because Ibuprofen, Darvocet, nothing worked to get rid of them. Dr. Cartwright put me on NeuroBoost and when I saw what was in it I thought, well, this won’t work at all, but it couldn’t hurt, so I’ll take them…I haven’t had a headache at all this month.”

Hi,
How are you? There are indeed plenty of preventive and abortive medicines for migraine available. Rest, ice packs, and identification of the triggers will help you determine what you should avoid to prevent recurrences.  It is not also advisable to take over-the-counter pain medications excessively because these cause rebound headaches. Check with your doctor for proper management. Take care an regards.

There are many over the counter medications labeled for migraine use. If one of them does not work, do not exceed the dosage on the label.

I would go see a doctor and get diagnosed formally, and see what they advise. I take a preventative, and also have other meds that are used to take when a headache comes. There are a lot of medications out there - you need to know the options.
