I have a dear friend who has migraines. She always have medications on hand if ever the migraine headaches attack. I searched about what would be the great thing to do to avoid migraine attack. I urge her to avoid the food that precipitate migraine headaches.
Knowing what triggers migraine can help avoid an attack. It is not necessarily easy to identify one particular cause, however, because headaches may be precipitated by several triggers, such as: stress,fatigue,oversleeping or lack of sleep,fasting or missing a meal,food or medication that affects the diameter of blood vessels,caffeine, chocolate,alcohol,menses, hormonal changes,changes in barometric pressure, and changes in altitude. I think drinking a lot of water is necessary because when you are dehydrated it can cause pulsating headaches which would trigger it. It is better to prevent than to cure.
