Migraines: Why Do They Start & How to End Them

prevent them. Instead, it’s better to treat your symptoms as soon as they appear, when the migraine starts to form. 

The best way to start your in-home treatment is with yourself and your daily habits. Take note of your sleeping pattern. If you notice that you’re not getting enough sleep, then try starting with that change. The average adult needs at least 8-12 hours of sleep so start with a sleeping schedule that will get you those 8-12 hours. 

Changing your eating habits is also helpful. It’s easy to not notice the type of foods that enter your body but it’s important to start paying attention.

Focusing more on what you consume can help you determine which foods might be triggers for your migraines. Healthier life decisions play a big role in combating certain illnesses.

Doctor Recommendations

Though natural remedies are very beneficial, there are also ways that medicine can aid in stopping migraine symptoms such as prescription drugs. For example, a women’s doctor might prescribe birth control as a means of helping dissolve the symptoms. 

Another common type of prescription that can be prescribed to both men and women is antidepressants.

Since chronic headaches tend to come when one suffers from stress, depression, anxiety, etc, antidepressants can be prescribed by your doctor to help treat migraine symptoms, as well as seizure medication.
