First signals

Those who regularly suffer from headaches easily recognize its precursors. Generally, this is a sudden change in mood from apathy to excitement, visual disturbances, increased appetite, and decreased concentration. The person may experience taste, smell, or visual sensations such as the taste of metal in the mouth, the smell of blood, and flickering colored circles in front of the eyes. Different people have different sensations.

Stay calm

At the beginning of an attack, it is important to calm down and take medication, if you are taking something to prevent a migraine. To help, you can do meditation, breathing exercises (slow breathing, inhalation shorter than exhalation), stretching, and relaxation exercises. Don't panic and think that the day has gone to waste. Stress will only make things worse.

Remove irritants

To reduce the impact of external stimuli, you can use earplugs, goggles to protect against bright light, or a warming eye mask. You can also close the curtains and ventilate the room well.

Massage

At the beginning of an attack, the shoulder and neck area massage will help. It is also recommended to warm these areas with a heating pad or use water procedures: contrast showers, hot foot baths, or head lotions.

Eating and drinking

Sometimes migraine attacks are triggered by normal hunger. Eat small portions regularly, every three hours, avoiding sudden spikes in blood sugar levels. Sometimes a sandwich with sweet tea is enough to prevent an attack and keep the migraine at bay. Dehydration can also cause severe headaches, so get enough fluids regularly.

Many foods like citrus fruits, nuts, chocolate, bananas, smoked meats, sausages, and fatty cheese can trigger migraines. This list is different for each person. Write down which foods cause headaches for you and give them up.

Sleep

Sometimes, at the first signs of a migraine, going to bed is enough. Remember that a regular sleep schedule is a great way to prevent attacks.

Use supplements

To prevent the development of attacks, take magnesium supplements. Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids have also been shown to prevent attacks. The main thing is that the complex and dosage should be selected by a doctor.

Move

Everyone responds differently to various forms of activity, but yoga, physical therapy, and classical acupuncture show good results in reducing the intensity of migraine pain.
