Suggest Alternative Cure For Headaches And Migraines

I was diagnosed with chronic headaches and often get migraines. The preventative medication that was prescribed had side effects worse than living with the daily headaches. Is there anything I can do to prevent or lessen the frequency or level of pain of these headaches without turning to medications?

Hello dear,
I understand your concerns.You have asked the most valid question regarding Migraine. Migrainous headache episodes are precipitated by certain specific trigger factors which can be anything like-stress,sunlight exposure,smoking,food items like cheese,coffee or tea.Patient himself has to identify these trigger factors,which can be anything which increases the patient's headache.Once you know the trigger factor,just eliminate it and it will prevent headache episodes.Mental relaxation exercises are usually very helpful in preventing migraine and some other types of chronic headache like Tension type headache(TTH).I hope it helps you.
