Periods With Migraine. Menopause, Increased Migraine. Prescribed Painkillers,aggreviated Situation. Suggestions?

My wife always gets a migraine headache when her period is leaving. When the headache is severe, it is usually accompanied by nausea. But now she is going through menopause and has had a bad migraine headache since Monday. When we go to doctors, they only prescribe pain medications and acid blockers that only aggrevate her situation. What is unusual about this episode is that right after she puts any food in her stomach, she gets anxiety, rapid heartbeats, chills in the limbs, sweaty hands, and shortness of breath. Any idea or suggestions?

Welcome to HCM.
Migraine headache can be control by medicines but development of other symptoms suggest menopausal symptoms due to hormonal imbalance.
Start low dose hormone therapy under guidance of your gynecologist.With this treatment migraine episodes will reduce.
Otherwise be with her positively to avoid stress,anxiety.Keep her busy with music,family,friends or what she like the most.
Keep in touch with your gynecologist.
