Now, in order to evade every trigger fully, you would be a recluse in a shack somewhere, unless your trigger is old wooden structures that could collapse anytime. This is the point: you can’t stop all triggers. You have family responsibilities and work duties; you can’t leave those things behind to avoid triggers from popping up. So what do you do? You should consult with your doctor to determine which migraine treatment option you should use as that is the only way to get relief.
Prescription Issues
There are a number of migraine treatments out there today to aid with the setting in of a migraine. Here is one of your migraine treatment options: Prescription Medication. Triptans were first created to come along side high blood pressure patients and not to aid the prophylaxis of migraine headaches. However, many doctors believe that: if you constrict the vessels that are expanding which happens with migraines, you can stop the migraine or at least minimize the symptoms effects on you. Yet the cost might be too high. Ergots are also used to constrict the blood vessels but they constrict the blood vessels in and around the heart. This can leave you at risk for a heart attack.
