Q: i suffer from migraine chronically and almost daily take a brufen 400, do i run any risks,?

: Yes, it is a rather unwise choice. Besides the potential systemic side effects, the risk of medication overuse headaches eventuating in Chronic Daily Migraines is very likely. You would do far better seeing a neurologist, but we can also help here at HT via a virtual consult (www.connect@healthtap.com)
