Suggest Treatment For Chronic Migraine Headache
Hi I suffer from chronic migraines every 3 weeks. I see a neurologist also. Last week I had a migraine that lasted 4 days along with this I suffer cyclic vomiting syndrome so then became dehydrated. I havent fully recovered and am now experiencing waves of intermitent excruciating pain on right side of head. Ive never experienced this pain before and am worried . My right arm is also heavy . Should I be worried or is it normal. Thank you

Hello dear,
Understand your concern.
Following are the treatment of your problem:
1. Pain relieving medication:
- first use:Ibuprufen 500 mg three times a day or you can use aspirin or acetaminophen
- If not responds, you can use sumatriptan, combination of ergots and caffine
- In resistance case you can use opioids and glucocorticoids like prednisolone
- You can put ice pack on head.

Life style changes should be done as below
