Treatment Options

Migraine is a neurological condition that can cause moderate to severe headaches, often accompanied by nausea, sensitivity to light, and sensitivity to sound. Symptoms vary between individuals and attacks may occur with or without aura. Identifying triggers and accessing appropriate treatment can help reduce the impact of migraines on daily life.

Sumatriptan is a prescription medicine used to treat acute migraine attacks. It is most effective when taken at the first sign of a migraine, and works by narrowing blood vessels in the brain and reducing migraine related pain signals. Sumatriptan is not used to prevent migraines, and a prescriber will assess whether it is suitable based on your symptoms and medical history.

Managing triggers, staying hydrated, and using prescribed medication can help reduce both dizziness and headache severity.

Yes, certain lifestyle changes may help reduce the frequency of migraines. Regular sleep patterns, a balanced diet, hydration, and regular exercise can be beneficial. Additionally, stress management techniques such as yoga or meditation may also help. Consulting a healthcare professional can provide tailored recommendations.

Common migraine triggers can include stress, certain foods, hormonal changes, and environmental factors like bright lights or strong smells.

You should seek medical advice for migraines if they occur frequently, worsen over time, or if you experience new symptoms such as vision changes or severe nausea. A healthcare professional can help determine the best course of action and explore appropriate treatments for your situation.

Managing migraine symptoms at home can involve resting in a dark, quiet room, applying a cold compress to your head, and staying hydrated. Over-the-counter pain relief may also be beneficial. However, it’s advisable to consult a healthcare provider for the most appropriate treatment options for your situation.
