Recommendations to manage severe migraine and tension headaches?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Migraine headaches: If you have not seen your doc you need to do so. Having said that, consider biofeedback, clinical hypnosis, psychotherapy for stress management, food sensitivity testing (Great Plains lab in KS, USA has a good one), massage. Peace and good health.

2 approaches: To stop a headache, triptans work well, and Cambia can help those which fail to respond. To prevent, use prescription items, such as Depakote, Topamax, (topiramate) Beta or Calcium channel blockers, Botox; yet also OTC, such as riboflavin, feverfew, butterbur, CoQ-10, magnesium.
