Managing Migraine

Do not skip meals and go about hungry. Eat at fixed times. Hunger is the worst enemy of a person who is prone to migraine attacks. When you miss meals or have meals at times other than normal, you are actually depriving your body of the much-needed energy.

The body will seek out alternative measure that is it will start working on fat reserves but the fats cannot be easily converted to sugars that the body desperately needs. So when the body does not get what it wants, the cells get deprived of energy and this manifests itself in the form of a headache. Foods containing monosodium glutamate and caffeine are bad so stay away from them. They too can start a migraine.  Give your doctor a complete list of the all the medicines that you consume. You have to remember that some of these medicines might be altering your vascular system leading to a headache. 

The medicines that you have to take particular not of are birth control pills, medicines for blood pressure and any hormone supplements.
