Is My Migraine Getting Worse or Is It Something Else? - #14567

For the last few months, my migraines have been getting worse, and I don’t know why. I’ve had headaches before, but this is different. It starts as a dull pain on one side of my head, then turns into a full-blown migraine that lasts for hours, sometimes even the whole day. The pain is so bad that I can’t focus on anything, and light or noise makes it even worse. Could something be triggering my migraine, or is it a sign of something more serious? I’ve noticed that my migraine usually comes before my periods or when I’m really stressed. Sometimes, certain smells or foods (especially cheese and chocolate) seem to make it worse. But the weird thing is, even when I avoid these, I still get migraines. I also feel nauseous when it happens, and sometimes my vision gets blurry or I see these weird flashing lights. Is that normal with a migraine, or could it be something else? The worst part is, no painkiller really works. I’ve tried paracetamol, ibuprofen, even some migraine tablets a doctor prescribed, but nothing gives long-term relief. The migraine just keeps coming back, and I’m really tired of dealing with it. I read that dehydration or lack of sleep can trigger migraines, but I drink enough water and try to sleep on time—yet, it still happens. Are there any natural ways to reduce migraine attacks? Does Ayurveda have any effective treatments for migraine? I’ve read about Shirodhara and some herbal remedies like Brahmi and Ashwagandha—do they actually help? Should I get an MRI to check if my migraine is caused by something else? And how do I figure out my exact triggers?
