(HealthDay News) -- Migraines are severe headaches that may be
accompanied by nausea, vomiting and a sensitivity to light and
sound.
The National Women's Health Information Center offers these
suggestions for what to do as soon as migraine symptoms begin:
- Promptly take migraine medication that your doctor has
prescribed.
- Drink plenty of fluids, as long as you don't feel
nauseated.
- Lie down and relax in a room that's quiet and dark.
- Drape a cool cloth across your forehead.
- Gently massage the area of your head that's painful.
