Who is the Best Doctor in NYC To Treat My Migraines

If you suffer from migraines, you may find that the headaches have a dramatic affect on your quality of life. You're less able to be productive, and you may lose whole days to your migraines. They also interrupt your ability to interact with others. You may even find yourself losing sleep or becoming depressed and anxious if your migraines are very frequent.

About Migraines

Migraines are throbbing headaches that usually occur on one side of the head. They can be accompanied by a number of other symptoms, such as pain behind the eyes, sensitivity to light and noise, and nausea and vomiting. You may experience an aura before a headache comes on, with sensory or visual changes.

Many people find it difficult to do much during a migraine. Because of the sensitivity to light and noise, it may be necessary for patients to lay down in a dark, quiet room until the migraine is over. Considering how much this can affect your day to day life, treatment is essential.

Potential Treatments

Treatment for your migraines will depend on their severity and their causes. Your doctor may recommend:

• Avoiding food triggers
• Reduction of stress
• Getting plenty of sleep
• Taking an over-the-counter medication such as Excedrin for migraines
• Taking a prescription medication designed to treat the pain of migraines
• Taking a daily medication to prevent migraines from occurring
• Undergoing a procedure such as nerve stimulation

In general, doctors will prefer to start out by making lifestyle changes and use medication only when a headache is actually occurring. If this is ineffective, daily medication may come into play. Procedures like nerve stimulation are normally viewed as a last resort.
