Suggest Treatment For Migraines

default
Posted on Wed, 31 Dec 2014
Question: I have had migraines constantly for about 5 days, I keep feeling horrendously sick and my back is really hurting. I went to the doctors and I am on co-codimol as normal painkillers don't work. I don't know what to do about it because it is driving me crazy. Last night I was shaky and felt like I was drunk even though I haven't drunk any alcohol in over 3 weeks and I thought it was my blood sugar but it just wouldn't go away.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
I have studied your case.

I will advise you to start medicine sumatriptan after consulting your doctor. This drug may reduce your symptoms and recurrent episodes.

You need to avoid triggering factors of migraine like strong smell, irregular diet time, long journey, loud sound etc.

Many of my patients get relief with yoga, pranayama, etc so you can also start that. It helps you relax.

I hope I have answered your questions. If you have further questions please feel free to contact us. I will be happy to answer. Take care.
