Why would abdominal migraines be increasing in frequency? i thought they lessened after menopause. im 8 yrs post menopausal. these pains are debilitating. imitrex spray works. but it takes about 30 min. im desperate for answers?

See a neurologist, especially one with expertise in treating headaches. The new gepants work far better than Imitrex spray, and prevention with CGRP antagonists has revolutionized the field. Get proactive here.
