About 80% of people have nausea with headache, and about half have vomiting. You may also become pale and clammy or feel faint. Most migraine headaches last about 4 hours, but severe ones can last longer than 3 days. Headaches two to four times a month are common. Some people may have migraine headaches every few days, while others may have them once or twice a year.

2. How many times do you have? How long do they last?

3. Other family members who have migraines.

4. All medicines and supplements you take, even over-the-counter ones.

Frequently Asked Questions

Migraine rescue refers to treatments aimed at breaking up a headache that is already present. This is different from prophylaxis which aims to prevent or at least decrease the frequency and severity of headaches. Usually, rescue is accomplished with medication, although there are some non-pharmacologic treatments available for people who do not want or cannot tolerate medications.

Abortive is another term for rescue medications. They are used to help stop a headache that is already present. They are most effective when taken early on in the headache. Some abortives can be bought over the counter, but the more potent and effective are usually obtained by prescription. Choice of abortive agents depends on a number of factors, including other medications you are taking, the frequency, severity and duration of your headaches, finances, and other variables. There are many options and these should be discussed with your headache doctor or health professional.

Preventative medications are used when headaches occur often enough or are disabling enough to disrupt your life. Generally, there are four categories of preventatives used in Migraine: neuromodulatory drugs, such as topiramate and valproic acid, neurotransmitter modulators such as amitryptilene or olanzepine, vascular agents such as propranolol or verapamil, and homeopathic agents such as butterbur or feverfew. Preventative medications should be one part of a treatment plan and are generally not intended to “cure” or completely prevent headaches on their own.
