What the heck can I take for a migraine?

Question

I’ve googled it and I’m wondering if anyone has any recommendations for something that actually works?
Prior to pregnancy I would take a bunch of Advil and drink huge amounts of caffeine, but I obviously can’t do that 😂
I do tend towards the crunchy side (outside of my typical migraines lol) so if your suggestion is naturally based, that would be great!
Thank you!!

Answer

Acupressure works well

Answer

My favorite combo for pregnancy migraines is a small can of Coke, 200mg magnesium, 200mg potassium, and two Tylenol. Regular headaches I'm willing to try more natural options first like Valerian root or Skullcap tinctures but I don't mess around with migraines because for me if I don't catch it early it just gets worse and worse.

Answer

The only thing that helps mine are triptans

Answer

My doctor gave me magnesium tablets, apparently safe for pregnancy, turns out I had lost the baby anyway but he told me to continue with the magnesium instead of going back on my normal meds.

Answer

If taking medication i take migraleave (i don't knowif you can take in pregnancy), or i get a wet cold towel, put it in freezer for a little bit, and then wrap it around my head like a turban, does work for about 3 mins and then heat of my head makes it boiling hot haha, i like to lay in a dark room and ask my partner to stroke my haid or rub my neck and forehead; they are awful, most times im sick and it goes shortly after x

Caffeine and Tylenol.
McDonald’s fries and a Coke.
Cold pack on the head/neck and feet in hot water. Preferably in a dark room.
