Breath ; relax: If you're feeling that stressed, it's a good sign that you need a daily practice such as mindfulness meditation that can help you. You can learn through classes given all over the country, and sometimes from cd's that you listen to, like: http://tinyurl.Com/k53usht the important thing is consistency, not necessarily length.

Get help: Get help in dealing with the stress. Depending on what's going on in your life, different forms of stress reduction may be effective and help prevent migraines. Get a therapist who knows about stress reduction methods to help you figure it out.

Agree with Dr.Caplin: ; dr. Pappas. Talking therapy ranks really high. Cognitive behavioral therapy can be quite effective. Aim for daily exercise, 8 hours of sleep per night ; good nutrition with 5 servings of veggies ; 4 of fruit per day. Try tai chi, yoga, qi gong, progressive muscle relaxation, deep breathing exercises ; meditation. Don't isolate - spend time with friends and stay active.
