Guest guest Posted November 14, 2002 Report Share Posted November 14, 2002 Hey Everyone, i don't think this is totally yoga related, but i have had a serious migraine headache for 3 days now! i am also completely parched all the time, although i am drinking tons on water, more than i usually do. it is a headache right above my eyes, and its just terrible. I am allergic to alleve, so am extremely hesitant to try over the counter drugs. can anyone suggest anything, whether it be food, drink, pills, posture, anything to help? much appreciated and hope everyone is well...

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2002 Report Share Posted November 14, 2002 Hmmm no expert, although have had migraines and visit a chiro regularly to prevent. I think it may be niacin, vitamin b3 that acts as a vasodilator? I've heard that may help. I totally empathize - my sister gets them too and takes a herb - think it's called feverfew. Have you tried a google search or a good natural health store?

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2002 Report Share Posted November 15, 2002 hey iam a nursing major in college getting my BS, its not really normal to have a migrine H/A for so long, go to your doctor and ask him about some "beta blockers" and ask him if he thinks you would benfit from them....they are usually used for H/A and lowering blood pressure, so as long as your BP is not too low he will probally write you a precription.

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2002 Report Share Posted November 16, 2002 I used to get terrible migraines myself (3-4 days also), and the thing is if you self-medicate yourself they can get worse (in pain, duration and frequency). So the best thing is to see a doctor. I went to one and we tried different alternatives to medicine and it turns out that caffeine and GSM are migraine triggers im my case, and (it may sound like an infomercial) but avoiding them really has changed my life.
