I suffer from what I think are hormonal migraines. I say I 'think' they're migraines but they may well be tension headaches.
I'm aware that many people say that true migraines leave you unable to do anything which is why I'm uncertain that they are - I get approx 8-10 a month but with the right medication I don't always end up stricken down in bed. But I do get a throbbing head and, increasingly, very nauseous.
I take Imigran 100ml but I'm finding that it doesn't always work as the nausea is sometimes starting earlier than the headache. By the time I notice the head pain the tablets seem to just sit in my stomach and don't work.
What else can I ask the GP for to help with this? I've read about Imigran in a nose spray - does this work any better than the tablets? Is there anything else i can take for the nausea? I've never actually vomited, I just feel sick and my eyes are affected by the light.
