Hi
Thanks for posting on HCM
The treatment of migraine depends on the intensity of headache and frequency.Treatment however could be preventive or curative.

-Pain-relieving medications are prescribed during crisis.Drugs that may be used depend on pain intensity and may include: nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories, Triptans, Ergots, Opioid medications and Glucocorticoids.Some of these drugs may be used in combination for better results.

-Preventive medications are recommended if You have four or more debilitating attacks a month, attacks last more than 12 hours, pain-relieving medications aren't helping and If your migraine signs and symptoms include a prolonged aura or numbness and weakness.Drugs that may be used to prevent crisis may include: Beta blockers, Antidepressants, Anti-seizure drugs, Botox, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, especially naproxen.

I will suggest you just see your Doctor for evaluation as only a Doctor will judge which treatment option is best for you after examination.In the meantime, i will advise you try the following home measures:
*Practice muscle relaxation exercises
*Get enough sleep
*Rest and relax
Hope this will help
Wish you good health
