Question 1

how do i prevent a migrane headache?

Accepted Answer

NTI-tss: I have had great success with my patients wearing a night time appliance called nti-tss.  I fits on either the upper or lower front teeth when we sleep, and the migraine headaches seem to stop happening, along with the "tension and/or sinus" headaches.  Find a dentist in your area that makes these.  Here is the link to the company website, so that you can get educated.

i've had a headache that has become worse through the day and now feels like its turning into a migrane. is there anything i can do to get rid of it?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: Headaches that you go to bed with and awaken with and worsen during day  may indicate cervicogenic headaches from the neck, stress , or muscle contraction headache. Migraines are less likely with out history but one headache can lead to another. Suggest as with any headache you need to be evaluated to determine the cause so propper treatment can be done. Don't let it continue.

Question 3

i get blurry vision in my right eye and then half hour later i get a migrane headache. what might that be?

Accepted Answer

Migraine with Aura: The blurry vision is probably an "aura." this is not unusual before onset of a classic migraine. Experienced migraneurs often take preemptive treatment during an aura in order to stop migraines before they become severe. If you haven't yet been evaluated by a doctor please do so... Although migraines are relatively benign, other more serious conditions could cause similar symptoms.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Recommend exam: Though a bit unusual to START having migraine headaches at age 43- as the saying goes, "it's never too late." A good neurologist or headache specialist will get a detailed history on you in terms of headaches &amp; other problems to try to &amp; discover the root cause before starting treatment which if not careful can lead to even more headaches. I would start tracking your headaches on a log &amp; get seen.
