Hi,
Try to find out the trigger for your migraines. In most cases it is a food product like MSG, beans, sodium nitrate which is used to preserve hot dogs and cured meats.Eat your meals at regular time and maintain proper hydration. Avoid stressful activities as much as you can.In some cases OTC painkillers work wonders.
