i'm not someone who studies veri hard, who works very hard. i simply live a stress-free life and yet migraine still attacks me though.

yea migraine seems to affect most of the young in this century, no one knows why i guess.

i have tried the 100plus remedy, it worked for me for the first time, but after that everytime i consume it, my headache just make me vomit it all out so it didn't work for me after that ler.

and i'm currently relying on 2 tablets of panadol extra. taking it like 3-4 times a week maximum.

Do a handstand meditation every day for 5 to 10 minutes.

"In fact, caffeine is a key ingredient in almost all of the over-the-counter migraine medications. That's because caffeine is useful in stopping a headache once it starts," she continues. "The unfortunate thing is that, in patients who use caffeine chronically, they're much more likely to get a migraine as the caffeine begins to wear off."

i used to drink coffee daily when i was in secondary school, however now i only drink it once a week or so in order not to depend on caffeine too much. cos i tot that my headaches come from caffeine though.

Coffee could be the cause of your headaches too. I used to drink alot last time, when I stopped suddenly I get headaches. When I consume coffee while having a headache, it eases the pain, it could be withdrawal symptoms.

Also try moving away from your monitor screen by 30cm. You are sitting too close (5cm) from your monitor!

Take up regular exercise/sports.

Yeah, my post won't help. But cummulatively.....

Oh, sinus do affect headache lor, it start from the nose nerve all the way up, i think there are excessive fluid in those pocket of your brain, nose and eye bags, you need to go for an operation to flush out all these fluid, it is causing inflamation and heaviness to your nerve that cause the pain and headache.

U cannot go swimming and also try not to stay in air con enviroment too long.

No, if u do a handstand everyday for 5 minutes, it allow the blood to pull into your brain and help to nourish it, after all, most of the time we are standing up where most blood drain toward our legs more than the brain

i don't think there are any other remedies other than panadols.

if there really is other remedies, panadol makers would alr close shop long ago.

My best treatment for myself; when I have something similar to migraine* is

1.cover your eyes with a dark / thick cloth as LIGHT REDUCTION helps (at least for me). In the process I also feel relaxed; don't know which has the greater effect. But the results is more important- the rest is not important.

2.At other time ACUPRESSURE like this: press your left thumb into the part between your right hand's V-shape portion between your thumb and index finger. Feel for the part where it is slightly "electrical" - like a slight vibration when you depress (how to say it...) then hold on that for a minute or each time, do that till you feel better. My own TCM ;-) but it always works.

* similar to migraine: I get a slight distortion of vision before a slight headache the next day, mostly no headache the next day. I associate this with a migrine that never materialised. My own analysis and it works fine !

hmm. regarding about the sinus issue i seriously think that cannot be avoided. cos i'm borned with it. since young i have tolerated that.. so if that's the main cause of my migraines, i suppose i cannot get rid of the " cause " but have to reduce the pain of the " effect "

Michangks

hey i think ur idea might work. about finding the part to apply pressure, i always cannot find it. cos when i'm having migraines i will keep pressing hard onto my skull area so as to ease the pain but to no avail. i wonder if there's a trick to finding the actual spot?

Cowbaycowboo SG

sinus can be cured, in most cases .....seek permanent help.

Michangks SG

Sorry for long delay in reply.

Please see the attached link for the point that seems to work.
