Suggest Natural Remedy For Severe Migraine

I have had a severe migraine since yesterday and have tried several different ways to get rid of it. It was raining yesterday and I m pretty sure that s the cause of my migraine. I have a lot of pain in head behind eyes nausea see tracers and have what I call tunnel vision I feel light headed at times also. I have taken Excedren and staying well hydrated tried cold compresses also. What are your thoughts on faith piercing and migraines? I don t like taking pills all-time for prevention and treatment.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of severe migraine. Need not to worry. For now apply warm compresses to neck , do light stretching exercises , avoid triggers like bright lights and loud sound and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain . I would suggest you to consult neurologist/ ENT specialist for proper examination. Doctor may order blood tests , CT scan , MRI and lumbar puncture. Doctor may prescribe triptans like sumatriptan , ergotamine and caffeine combination drugs , metoclopramide and narcotics . Doctor may also refer you to orthopedic surgeon for cervical problem.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwar
