Hello,
The headache, heart burn while going through menopause, may be a part of underlying
hormone imbalance as well rather than migraine or migraine flare up due to certain physiologic changes. My guidelines at present:
- Meditations and YOGA
- Deep breathing exercises will prove cornerstone of therapy
- Medicines as paracetamol,
acetaminophen or tramadol hydrochloride after meals as per choice and guidelines of your consultant
- Secondary consideration of Ergotamine or Tryptan molecules come into picture if above fails
- Antacid as Mylanta or proton pump inhibitor as
Esomeprazole with sips of water on empty stomach
- Discuss the scope and need of HRT (
Hormone replacement therapy) with your doctor if not done already
- Control of blood sugar,
cholesterol, body weight
- Control of anxiety, stress
- A regular sound sleep of 6-7 hours
- Avoidance of smoking or alcohol if consuming
- Avoid caffeine or recreational drugs if consuming as well
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
