    There is a genetic factor in 80% of the cases. You may have a predisposition to getting headaches.


    There is on going research to identify this gene.


    It is when blood vessels are  swollen, putting pressure on the nerves around the brain. Usually on one side.


    The doctor can write you a prescription for pain.


    Relpax 40mg is new, and you can get a drug card on line where it will only cost you $10 to get filled. 97% like this drug the best.


    Imitrex 100mg, is good, but gives chest pains, you have to be careful. This drug can be dangerous. The cost is high.


    At home, use an ice pack on your head, take Excedrin for migraines, and drink a strong cup of coffee. Stay in a dark quiet room, rest.


    Women suffer more than men with headaches, suffers are usually between the ages of 15-55.
