Migraines: are quite common but very RARE to begin over age 60. Often they interact with food. A new severe headache certainly would be a reason to check out if there is a brain problem by taking a look like with a cat scan. Without an actual examination, I cannot give specific medical advice on your particular health, however

2 or more: Migraines a month qualify for prophylactic care. Seek help so you don't suffer so much.

Migraine treatment: Once a diagnosis of migraine has been made, effective management of migraine involves three specific strategies: 1) patient education, 2) nonpharmacological management, and 3) pharmacological (medical) management. See an orofacial pain or headache specialist for evaluation and professional management.
