Suggest Remedy For Migraine

I have a severe migraine headache...... I was driving and my vision became blurry....As a parked the car a sharp pain strike across my forehand and immediately the headache began. I was in severe pain. I tried to drink water and take ibuprofen right away, but my body rejected it. I vomit everything. I had to lie down because I was to weak to do anything. This is the second time this month I ve experience this. What is going on with my body?

Thank you for writing to HCM

Ibuprofen is a type of pain killer and an NSAID. It works by blocking the receptors that produce prostaglandins and prevents pain. It also causes acidity because it does not allow for buffering of the acid.

This acidity is causing the irritation to your stomach and causes the vomiting. Firstly, you should not be using Ibuprofen for a headache. It is much better to use Paracetamol 500 mg.

Also, let us identify why you have a headache and what trigger factor causes it. This can be due to cold, certain food and in fact anything under the sun.
This should prevent migraines. Try the therapy and get back to me. Based on this, we can decide the next step.

Hope this helps you
