Hello:
Migraine presents with pain in half of the head. Patients have nausea or vomiting, light and sound intolerance, it exacerbates with movement and some patients have vertigo or dizziness. It usually lasts 4 to 72 hours. If you are having these symptoms, maybe you are a migraine patient and by now you are having a complicated migraine, presented as
status migrainosus. It is a migraine pain that lasts more than 72 hours.
Treatment can be done with some medications as dexametasone, magnesium,
metoclopramide and ketorolac. You can also try triptans as
zolmitriptan or sumatriptan.
I suggest consulting with a
neurologist for a complete assessment and diagnosis confirmation.
By now you need to follow some non-pharmacological indications: avoid
sleep deprivation, fasting, some foods as cured meat, smoked fishes, aged cheeses, and everything containing
monosodium glutamate, stay well hydrated. If you get better keep doing them, and try writing a migraine diary, taking note of the pain characteristics (side, symptoms, duration, treatment response) and try to identify migraine triggers to avoid them (every migraine patient is different, but some common triggers are alcohol, cigarete smoke, somo odors as gasoline, movement, and the foods I mentioned above).
If you are having more than 4 pain days per month, you will need prophylactic treatment. Topiramate is a good option for you if you do not have kidney stones. Other medications used are
propranolol, amytriptiline, magnesium and semisodic valproate (Do not recommended for girls). For acute attacks, triptans are the first choice, again sumatriptan or zolmitriptan.
I hope this helps. If you have any doubt before your appointment, please let me know.
