Migraine symptoms?
Sometimes I get a bad headache when there's really bright light or loud noises. My eyes ache as well but I don't get any sickness, could this be a migraine? And if it is what can I do about it?

1. there are different kind of migraine.. most of severe migraine makes you also feel sick and you cannot bear going anywhere.. the pain is so bad if you had a gun you would shoot yourself...and once the migraine started it's too late to take headache pills... for those who get regular migraines and they appear and give a warning sign.. the best advice is take aspirin right away... to stop it from getting worse and drink plenty.. with you it could be an eye or an ear problem... and not migraine at all.. Just try next time at the first twinge take aspirine drink plenty of water and if it goes away it is a mild migraine...so when you go out always take some headache pills with you...xxx
good luck xx
2. Migraine most probably, specially if with stimulus and maybe one side of the head only. A neurologist will be able to help you best.
3. Go see your doctor, I'm sure he'll tell you it's a migraine :P
Migraines can be cause by stress and anger *cough* so if you feel one coming on, just relax! Apparently caffeine is supposed to help too, so drink coke or tea :)
4. If possible lie in a darkened room and put some cold tea bags on your eyelids or slices of cool cucumber. I have heard that works and heps to relax you.
5. There are lots of different sorts of migraine, and it's really not possible to know whether yours is or not from what you've described. If you are getting them frequently, or if they aren't going away when you take regular painkillers, then they could well be migraines. However, they could also be caused by your eyesight having changed and perhaps you need glasses (or different glasses if you already wear them).
Many sorts of migraine do not include feeling sick or being sick. (I suffer from chronic migraine myself and it's controlled now by medication, but although the pain used to be bad enough for me to literally fall over with it sometimes, I never felt like I would throw up from it).
I would suggest as with any health issue, if you are concerned, then maybe you should make an appointment to see your doctor, or as you say your eyes ache as well, perhaps a trip to the option first and then the doc if that doesn't prove useful.
6. Let symptoms go hell, try to cure it.
pl see what suits you.
If you are in cold country use all warm things.
Pl try cold water bath and observe if in hot country, if pain increases use warm.
If you have cough/cold body hot water bath will help.
Massage and exercise in front of morning sun is good thing, pl try.
Pl try simple acupressure given below for immediate relief.
If it fails you will have to go for Acupuncture.
There is hardly any medicine for H/A OR MIGRAINE. Not only these but for RA, OA, Back ache, Ear ache/ringing, Stomach ache and almost all painful diseases. Hence they become chronic.
Acidity, WORRY, sadness, excessive wind, cold , heat, sour food and sinusitis, constipation, intestinal inflammation; drug side effects, stress, bad smell, TV & COMPUTER SOMETIMES, Blockage in the flow of Vital Energy, BODY CONSTITUTION etc are their causes.
None of them can be treated with medicine.
Our 100% success in treating migraine &H/A confirms it.
Acupuncture is the best treatment.
I can treat it with naturopathy and YOG, but how can you manage pl see.
Pain killers don't treat the pain but we loose the sense of pain for some time; in that duration our body itself treats sometime and credit goes to meds.
The useless drugs have tremendous power of side effects like liver/kidney failures, ulcer, inflammation of intestines and lot more.
Avoid late sleeping if possible; worry, tension, spicy foods, sour fruits, stale bakery foods, SMOKING and alcohole.
Sweet foods, COCOANUT WATER,sweet fruits like dates, milk, rice, SPROUTS, SALADS and good sleep will help if cough is not there.
But you try one herbal remedy- two drops of drumstick leaves' juice in opposite nostril if one side pains and both nostrils if full H/A will give you rescue. Betel leaf helps but it is very strong.
If it is acute pl search a painful point (with round tipped pen/jimmy) 3-6 mm behind your thumb nail and press it, H/A will disappear within 30 seconds.
For forehead/eye pain the points are in front of nails on the finger tips or 3-7 mm below.
It may disappear naturally too.
