First see your healthcare provider as soon as possible. Headache may frequently be relieved by massage or heat applied to the back of the upper neck or by simply resting with eyes closed and head supported. Relaxation techniques such as meditation may work also.
Persistent headaches that don't respond to such measures should be brought to the attention of a doctor and good luck.Health Question & Answer

What meds does she take.? I am now on a medication called Topomax that I take daily to prevent migraines. It's an anti seizure medication that they have found helps people with migraines.

At the first sign of it coming on, try Excedrin Migraine. It is over the counter but it is a good starter. Cool,dark & quiet is the key. I lay in a dark room with no sound and an ice pack on my head. May take a few hours but it is worth it. I have prescription meds that also help but I think it is the cool & dark that is the icing on the cakeHealth Question & Answer
