Suggest Treatment For Severe Migraine Headache

I have had a headache for the last eight hours and I am smoking smoke. I am at work and I sit near non-smokers. I am a migraine sufferer, and I have had to visit the ER to relieve my pain in the past; that has been several years ago. Do you recommend that I go to urgent care?

Hi thanks for contacting HCM...

You have diagnosed with migraine so you have migraine attack this time...

First of all you have to stop smoking...As it is common precipitating factor for headache....
You can attend rehabilitation program for it.

For headache just now take ibuprofen tablet 200 mg stat...
If no improvement then rizatriptan 5 mg tablet can be taken....

Avoid precipitating factors like.....
/stress
Smoking
/lack of sleep
/irregular diet
/hypoglycemia
/bright light
/loud noise

Yoga , muscle relaxation helpful.

Peppermint oil topical application helpful...

If you are suffering from repeated migraine , prophylaxis like amitryptillin given .

Take care
