I had to stop my migraine prevention meds to. What I have been using during my pregnancy is 500mg of magnesium a day and fioricet as needed both recommend and ok'd by my OB and neurologist. They don't help nearly as much as my other meds did but its getting me through them. Good luck.
Hi, Thank you for your question. Usually, propranolol (beta blocker) is suggested for prophylactic treatment of migraine. Acute or prompt treatment require over the counter pain killers and triptans. Avoiding the triggering factors of cluster headache might help you in order to prevent its recurrence. Hope it helps.
to treatments: Propranalol (Inderal; for tremor reduction and/or migraine prevention)
Celexa (antidepressant)
to events: busy day (or some other brief phrase about overdoing things)
Thank you.
I have been feeling lightheaded, short of breath, arms feel heavy especially when i raise them up to shoulder level, head feels weird, no migraine pain. I have a history of migraines for about twenty years. I quit smoking 7 months ago, and started propranolol 20 mg once a day. I gained 30 pounds. My whole body is sore and Im having episodes where my upper body and sometimes legs just feel so heavy and tired I feel like Im going to pass out.
I have recently been prescribed Verapamil for migraine prevention but I'm also taking Norvasc. Should these medications be taken together? The Norvasc was prescribed a number of years ago by a different doctor for Migraine prevention. It hasn't helped my migraines but I've continued to take it. Since they are both blood pressure meds, I'm doubtful I should take both.
He was diagnosed with abdominal migraine and put on propranolol (taken daily to prevent migraine), and it worked very well. We weaned him off the propranolol after a year or so, and a year after that the nausea came back. Now he's been nauseous for 8 weeks straight and has missed a month of school. Propranolol is not supposed to stop a migraine in progress, just prevent them; we tried putting him back on during this episode but his pulse dropped too low.
can propranolol be used for migraine prophylaxis in a patient with heart rate of 60 and family history of diabetes
Has anyone tried PROPRANOLOL for prevention of Migraines? I have struggled with headaches almost every day & Migraines aprox every 7-10 days for the last 10 years. Feverfew has helped but they now seem to be getting worst so I was thinking of asking my GP if I could try Propranolol.
hi i am a 37 year old mother of 5 and have always experienced migraine for as long as i remember.i have also had other health problems especially stomache pain and am currently on propanalol which seemed to be helping a lot with the headaches for some reason.however the headaches have returned and my head constantly hurts especially on the left and at the base of the head and my left pupil has been enlarged several times.my daughter even noticfd it when i went to visit.
Hi, sure sounds like it could be your version of a migraine. It can be a bit different for each individual. Propranolol (Inderal) is a good preventive, and a variety of triptan drugs are good abortive drugs. Ask your neuro to try you on some new things. Keep in mind that everyone is different in their tolerances and reactions to meds. But, there's enough out there that something should help.
For two months know ive had a throbbing headache and it wont go away and its doesnt feel better with pills....
The ablation was for AVT. As soon as they were finished with the ablation, before they rolled me out of the cath lab, I started getting a migraine (blurry vision, followed by headache from hell, nausea, vomiting). Before my heart ablation I would get a migraine 3-4 times a year. I have been getting them since i was a teenager (I am now 34).
Since the surgery, I have gotten 1-2 migraine headaches EVERY DAY (I'm on day 5 since my surgery).
To date I hvae been on three medications for my headaches (meloxicam, zomig and propranolol) but nothing seems to help. My headache has lasted for a month straight but it seems to be getting worse. My family doctor seems to think that I have sinus, tension and migraine headaches. The pain and sensitivity to light has become so bad that I have to sit in a dark and not move all night after a day at school. The pain is mainly behind my eye and on my nose bridge, then it spreeds to my forehead.
sometimes Tenex is also used in conjunction with stimulants to help control ADHD symptoms....first I have heard of inderal (brand name for propranolol) being used but makes sense...Always to remember to ask your doctor any questions about your meds and health care...the only stupid questions are the ones not asked....Also beta blockers are also given to help control migraines to regulate fluxs in BP...not because too high but slight changes can trigger migraines...
