I was all like, yeah! Going to get this FCA done! And then I got home, and suddenly BAM I have a migraine. I hate the way my brain works. Stop being in pain, brain.

I'm so sick of having frequent migraines, they are a literal nightmare and no matter what I do, sometimes I just cannot get rid of one for the life of me. Herbal remedies, prescription/OTC drugs, sleeping, preparing ahead of time. Nothing helps and it's honesty so discouraging and I hate that it's hereditary.

Dealing With Frequent Migraines

Migraines have many characteristics. Often, these characteristics can help doctors determine the type of migraine their patient is dealing with. One characteristic most migraines share is that they occur relatively frequently, ranging from a frequency of once every couple of months, once or twice a month, or more than twice a month. When a person suffers from migraines twice a month or more, these can be classified as frequent migraines.

It is important to note that anyone who has more than two migraines a month should see a neurologist as a safety precaution to make sure that the pain isn’t being caused by a serious underlying problem. In these cases, the migraine becomes a symptom of the underlying problem, which is what needs treatment and medical attention.

Frequent migraines can stop a person from doing their daily duties or living their everyday lives. This is because the attacks occur so often that the person is left unable to do what they need to, simply because they don’t have enough time to do it. Very often, these types of migraines are caused by something habitual or lifestyle factors. This often means that the migraine can be addressed, relieved or prevented by changing those habits or factors. Some of the factors that have been connected to frequent migraines include hormonal issues, food, lifestyle, and location.

- In terms of hormonal issues, migraines have been related to a woman’s menstrual cycle or the first trimester of a woman’s pregnancy. In both cases, the fluctuation of estrogen can trigger migraines. Birth control pills (a.k.a. Hormonal contraceptives) have also been linked to making migraines worse for women with a history of migraines. This can be dealt with by seeing a doctor and getting the right medication to address the pain.

- Certain foods have been linked to triggering migraines or increasing their frequency. Caffeinated drinks, rich cheese, fermented cheese, salt, certain spices, mono-sodium glutamate (MSG), and red wine are just a few of the foods and beverages that have been linked to migraines. This can be dealt with by removing these foods from your diet, and adapting a more natural, healthy diet.

- Changes in weather, such as a sudden change from hot to cold and vice versa have also been known to trigger migraines. In these cases the body is put under stress and a migraine occurs as a signal to relax and rest.

- Having an unhealthy lifestyle can also increase migraine frequency. Not eating regularly can result in a lack of sugar in the brain, which can trigger a migraine. Not drinking enough water can result in mild dehydration, which can also trigger a migraine. Not getting enough sleep can lead to fatigue, which can trigger a migraine. Having a high stress job or being under a lot of stress, whether emotional or physical, can also trigger a migraine. These factors can be dealt with by going through a lifestyle change. Making sure you get enough food at the right times, drinking throughout the day, resting well as much as you can, and finding activities to relieve stress are important to being a healthy person. In this case, you simply need to do what is good for your body and your migraine frequency may go away.

If you aren’t sure about whether or not you’re dealing with frequent migraines that are caused by lifestyle factors or habits, see a doctor. Remember to try to keep track of your symptoms as much as you can so your doctor will be well guided on what you’re going through.
