What is the best way to get rid of Migraines when you’re starting to get sick to your stomach as well?
By
Question: I get horrible migraines and right now I am sick to my stomach as well. Usually if I try to take Excedrin it makes me sicker and even if I don’t, I sometimes get to the point where I just throw up. I get migraines really bad too. What are some things that work for you?

I don’t know how old you are but my daughter suffers from migraine and she’s 11 years old. Her pediatrician prescribed her advil gel caps for migraine and also a gravol at same time then you must lay down and rest, preferably in a dark room to releive the stress of any light. A cold cloth over your forehead and eyes will help you fall asleep and releive the tension. DO NOT take anything you are not sure about if you have any medicine allergies. You can get advil gel caps and gravol without a prescription.

yes go to a doctor migraines may just be migraines or a symptom of something worse, get it checked out, and if it is a migraine and you get good prescription medication for it you may still have visual disturbances and an aversion to noise, also the migraine may not be over untill you do vomit. your doctor will want to run a series of tests to determine if it truly is migraines that you are suffering from and can give you something for it as well as the nausea, but your best bet is to let the vomit come when it does. it is just the migraine running its natural coarse.

You might want to try 800 mg of Motrin up to a max of 2400 mg/day, as long as you have no liver or stomach ulcers. Take the Motrin at the initial onset of the headache, and you can repeat the 800 mg dose every 6 hours up 2400 mg. If you get these headaches more than once or twice a month, you should go to your doctor. You want to make sure to rule out a tumor first an foremost, and if that is ruled out there are prophylatic preventive migriane medications that you can be given. Avoid narcotics because the can cause rebound headaches.

I get really bad migraines too so I feel your pain.
)
I take a RX for pain relief. It won’t help you now, but you should contact your doctor if this is a regular occurence. I find Darvon, Imitrex and Maxalt all work for me (not at the same time). Also, my doctor has recently started me on a preventative medication to try to stop the migraines before they begin. There is so much your doctor can do to help so let him/her know what is going on.
Try sipping some Coke right now. It does two things. First, the coke syrup helps settle (most peoples’) your stomach. Secondly, the caffeine in the pop constricts the bloods vessels. This will help with the blood rushing to your head (which is what is causing the throbbing).
Lay down in bed. Keep the room dark and noise to a minimum. Lay a cold compress on your forehead…or if you have some Migraine Ice use that. Sometimes it helps me if I tie a necktie around my head (like a scarf). The pressure helps the pain, and it probably acts a little like a tourniquet restricting the blood flow.
I hope this helps you. Take care of yourself.

Get to your physician. I have horrible migraines myself that also make me sick to my stomach. My doctor prescribed me Imitrex for them. It’s specifically designed to treat migraines.
