Migraine Treating Symptoms
Other medications are primarily given to treat the symptoms of migraine. Used alone or in combinations, these drugs can reduce your pain, nausea, or emotional distress. Medications in this group include:
* Nausea medicines such as prochlorperazine
* Over-the-counter pain relieves such as acetaminophen (Tylenol)
* Sedatives such as butalbital
* Narcotic pain relievers such as meperidine
* Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen
If you wish to consider an alternative, feverfew is a popular herb for migraines. Several studies, but not all, support using feverfew for treating migraines. If you are interested in trying feverfew, make sure your doctor approves. Also, know that herbal remedies sold in drugstores and health food stores are not regulated. Work with a trained herbalist when selecting herbs.
Every person responds differently to treatment. Some people have rare headaches that require little to no treatment. Others require the use of several medications or even occasional hospitalization.
Migraine Complications
Migraine headaches generally represent no significant threat to your overall health. However, they can be a long-term (chronic) problem and may interfere with your day-to-day life.
Calling your health care provider
Call 911 if:
* You are experiencing “the worst headache of your life”
* You have speech, vision, or movement problems or loss of balance, especially if you have not had these symptoms with a migraine before
* Your headaches are more severe when lying down
* The headache starts very suddenly
Such headaches may be the result of stroke, bleeding in the brain, aneurysm, or other serious condition and require the immediate attention of a health care provider.
Depending on the history of the headache, a CT scan or MRI may be done to rule out any of the above conditions.
Also, call your doctor if:
* Your headache patterns or pain change
* Treatments than once worked are no longer helpful
* You have side effects from medication, including irregular heartbeat, pale or blue skin, extreme sleepiness, persistent cough, depression, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, stomach pain, cramps, dry mouth, or extreme thirst
* You are pregnant or could become pregnant — some medications should not be taken when pregnant
