- Avoid any alternative treatments at home.
- It is important to remember that migraines, at times, can be fatal. So, it is advisable to seek medical advice.
- Ensure that you get 6-8 hrs of sound sleep.
- Yoga, meditation & morning walks are a few ways to keep you healthy. Maintain a daily routine of exercise.
- An unhealthy lifestyle can lead to migraines, specially skipping meals or not eating on time. A migraine patient should avoid fasting and food containing fat.

- Stress could be a big reason for triggering migraines.
- Avoid direct sunlight. Use goggles and umbrellas when stepping out in the day.
- Avoid prolonged use of analgesics.
