My doctor has determined my migraines are blood sugar related. I am mildly hypoglycemic and I have to be careful not to allow my blood sugar to fluctuate too significantly throughout the day. Until I was going to the doctor about migraines I was never diagnosed with hypoglycemia.
The exercise thing is interesting, because I used to get migraines ALL the time. Although I am careful not to start my day with a breakfast high in sugar, I would still get migraines about once a month. That is, until about four years ago, and that's when I decided to exercise every day in an attempt to make a habit of a healthier lifestyle before I'm older and it won't be as easy. Now I get maybe one or two per year, if that.
I just take four Advil as soon as I get that queasy feeling with a headache, even if the pain isn't that bad yet.
