What we offer on this page is a solution to just putting up with and suffering from your migraine by way of prevention methods as well as treatments and cures.

It may seem when you are suffering from a migraine that nothing will be able to relieve the pain or that you have tried everything to no avail. Try not to despair, the more the migraine works you up the longer it will last for. Believe me migraines can be beaten!

We will now cover each different type of migraine headache as we covered on the main page and tell you how to cure a migraine.

Common Migraines and Classical Migraines
The first port of call for any pain is always the usual pain relief measures which are taking Aspirin, Paracetamol and Ibuprofen. Other treatments can include sleep and resting a cold pack or something from the freezer wrapped in a towel, on your forehead.

However with a migraine these tactics can be rather ineffective. Try stronger pain relief products such as Co-codamol or Vasoconstrictors. If none of these work it is always worth consulting your doctor who may prescribe you with some form of steroid or drug such as Propranolol. Alternatives start with spending time in a dark and quiet room and using relaxation techniques in order to control your breathing and bring the pain calmly under control. Please visit www.guided-imagery.com for more some very useful information.

Preventing Common Migraines can be done by avoiding, if possible, any of the things mentioned in the what causes migraines section.

Migraines caused by Menstruation or the Menopause

Menstrual Headaches and Menopausal Headaches can be treated by hormone-replacement therapy, it is a good idea to contact your doctor in relation to these types of migraines. To treat both Menstrual Headaches and Menopausal Migraines it can also be very effective to use relaxation techniques, for some very effective methods please visit www.guided imagery.com. Spending time laying down in the dark with no noise or disturbance can help subside Menstrual Migraines. Pain relief such as Aspirin, Paracetamol and Ibuprofen can also be effective. Other treatments can include sleep and resting a cold pack or something from the freezer wrapped in a towel, on your forehead. Seeking help from your doctor who may prescribe treatment such as steroids.

Prevention in these cases is a good way of how to cure migraines caused by Menstruation, measure such as taking vasoconstrictors before and throughout the Menstrual period are known to be effective.



Pregnancy related Migraines

If you suffer from pregnancy related migraines you should consult your doctor straight away. You can try the usual pain relief measures which are taking Aspirin, Paracetamol and Ibuprofen. Other treatments can include sleep and resting a cold pack or something from the freezer wrapped in a towel, on your forehead. Your doctor may however be able to offer an alternative treatment method that does not involve any medication as it is unlikely that they will provide you with prescription drugs during pregnancy.

Optical Migraines

As with other migraines it is always worth trying the usual pain relief measures which are taking Aspirin, Paracetamol and Ibuprofen. Other treatments can include sleep and resting a cold pack or something from the freezer wrapped in a towel, on your forehead. However it is advisable to seek medical advice from your doctor who may prescribe you with a form of sedative. If Optical Migraines come with severe pain as well then your doctor may suggest a more serious treatment such as Triptan injections or the prescription of beta-blockers such as Propranolol, in some cases anti-depressant drugs. They may also see it fit to test you for any possible signs of epilepsy.

Flashes of light in jagged lines can be seen across your vision. This can be prominent and then fade away before coming back several times for anything up to an hour at a time. The common way of describing the symptoms are that you can see an aura around your vision. You can also experience blind spots.
It is unknown exactly what causes migraines in the form of Optical Migraines other than that it is related to the brain. They are often associated with allergies of edema in the brain however these ideas remain unproven.
