How to avoid migraines?

Drink lots of water and try to keep good to a diet full of fruits and vegetables. Eat healthy and try to eat at the same times each day. Try to get as much sleep as possible, even if that means sleeping on the train to work, or on your break at work.

vincent: Sleep is a must. When one cannot sleep he must tune up his mind in such a way that I am not getting good sleep today. whatever sleep we get is sufficient. this is what we do when travel from India to usa or canada-- we get staggered sleep. of course there is no need for us to do work. we do get jet lag after reaching destination. solution -- sufficient sleep or mind make up that lesser sleep is sufficient,.

To avoid stress, you need to have enough rest and sleep. The problem is not you getting migraines but you having not enough rest/sleep. Take time to think how you get the rest that you need. It is not only migraine that will be the effect of no enough rest, but many others will rise soon. So it's better to act now.

I also have occasional migraines and it started when I was in College though, I really do not know what triggered it coz I always make it a point to sleep at least 8 hours every day. Now, my migraine triggers whenever I lack sleep, too. And it usually lasts for 2-3 hours for a whole week. Migraines are a sign that the body is very much out of balance. Whatever you can do to soothe it, will help. Comfort is what you need when your head is aching. Try a warm shower. It is relaxing, the heat causes blood vessels in the body to dilate and draw some blood away from the vessels that are pounding in the brain. Fragrance soothes some people. Whether it is the smell of lavender, or of a cup of chamomile tea, indulge yourself. As soon as the headache starts, fill your kitchen sink with the hottest water you can stand to put your hands in. While it fills, put in your hands and arms at least up to the elbows. You want to keep the water as hot as you can stand, so you will have to add more hot water. Generally, within about ten minutes the headache should stop.

well if you cannot take these migraines anymore better yet look for another job and quit this hazardous job you have at the moment. Remember that your health is more important than earning money from a company who doesn't consider the effects of lack of sleep to their employees. Find a new job and work for a new boss, that's something I can suggest you for now.

Just try to rest if you have a little time or break in work and remember to eat fruits and eat your meals in the right time :) you can also drink water more often to. Just don't get too stressed and if you are, try closing your eyes for a bit or layback from your chair :)
