need to take prophylaxis

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

First you need to consult a neurologist and confirm diagnosis of migraine. And rule out other causes of headache because migraine is diagnosis of exclusion.

You may be suggested to take prophylaxis for 3 months with either b-blockers or flunarzine depending upon your cardiac status.

For acute pain you may take naproxen . These all are prescription drugs.

Prophylaxis reduces the attack intensity and frequency. Along with that do daily 20mins excercise and have sound sleep.
