Sumatriptan at onset: You are describing typical migraine attacks which can be aborted (stopped at onset) by sumatriptan if taken at onset of the migraine attack. If you have intolerable side effects from the sumatriptan there are alternatives. Hypertension (high blood pressure) is not a contra-indication to using migraine medications.
