Best way to prevent/treat a headache or migraine

April 7, 2017 7:21pm CST
So we all know the basic things we are told to do/ not do, to avoid getting headaches such as avoiding stress, red wine, chocolate and drinking lots of water. And if we are unfortunate to have a headache the best thing to do is take a pain killer and go for a rest in a dark room. Recently I have also tried a headache stick that is simply applied to the forehead. But as a headache and migraine suffer myself I am interesting in hearing the more unconventional methods of getting rid of and preventing a headaches.

I am a worrier, but I never get headaches. So I'm not much help there.

I think the best pain management for me is to have enough sleep. If I am going to take some pain medications, it will compromise the normal function of the liver.

@reskyyandi I think we really can't think straight with the lack of sleep.

If u have head ache..find out the reason...for me usually it will be hunger..if iam hungry I used to get head aches..so find the cause..if you were hungry..then eat something.. getting no enough sleep will also give an head ache so before taking any pills try to have a short nap..even after trying all these still u have head ache then go for the pills...

Have doctor check that. There's so many reason for that. It's difficult to enumerate.
