Migraine Tip

A Migraine is more than just a bad headache. They can force sufferers to lie in a darkened room for up to three days and frequent attacks can severely affect performance at work. In some people there is an obvious trigger, such as certain foods, excess alcohol or even loosing sleep. So it's worth keeping a diary to check if there is a lifestyle factor to avoid. There is evidence that a supplement of 400mg Vitamin B2, and 400mg of magnesium can help prevent migraines but both must be taken regularly for several weeks to see a noticeable effect. The herbal remedy feverfew may also prove effective. All are available from good chemists but always consult a doctor or pharmacist before using any other medications.
