A member asked:

Migraine/pain/neurology specialists. aside from stress reduction, hydration, stay out heat/sun, no skip meal. what can be done tohelp prevent migraine?

4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Mind-body connect: Migraine is the body defense when stressed. Learn the triggers and learn the stress reduction, but also learn that migraine may not be bad. Learn quick methods to get through migraine and to get on with life. Some medications may help - especially with sleep, and now antidepressants and antiseizure medications can be used at low dose to decrease the probability of getting migraine.

I think that: This advice is more individualized. You as a person know what might bring on your migraines. Avoid those things. You might see a migraine specialist or headache specialist.
