How to Avoid Getting Migraines
Instructions :
- 1
Exercise aerobically at least four times a week, 20 to 30 minutes each time. Women, especially hormonally active women, are more at risk for developing migraines. Regular brisk exercise keeps hormone levels in better balance.
- 2
Analyze your personality. There is some evidence that hard-driving perfectionist types are more prone to get migraines. Relax.
- 3
Breathe deeply. High doses of oxygen have proven effective in treating cluster headaches and migraines. Deep breathing also helps you relax.
- 4
Avoid allergens. For some people, concentrated sweets (especially chocolate), milk, aged cheese, processed
foods or red wine can set off migraines.
- 5
Avoid sudden, bright flashes of light, which triggers migraines in some.
- 6
Wake up at the same time each day. Disrupting your natural sleep patterns encourages migraines. Avoid fatigue and get plenty of rest.
- 7
See your doctor. If the steps outlined above do not keep you from getting migraines, ask your doctor for a migraine medication such as methysergide.
