Can you tell me how to ease my headaches and migraines with out painkillers?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lifestyle and meds: Having a regular lifestyle can help migraines. This includes going to sleep and getting up at the same time every day. Eating healthy meals and getting regular exercise helps. Biofeedback can also help. You likely will need medicine. Painkillers are not the optimal choice. There are good prescription medicines available to help (i.e. Triptans i.e. Imitrex). A headache neurologist can help.
