What types of foods prevent a migraine headache?
I suffer from migraine headaches. I usually get a really bad one right before I get my period. I remember reading somewhere that you can eat certain food and avoid others to help in the drop of hormones. I have high blood pressure so I can’t take birth control tablets to help this.

certain cheeses, foods with nitrates/preserved meats and wines can aggravate migraines. I used to have them and got a med called Fiorinal or butalbitol for monthly migraines. don’t have them anymore since it’s gone now and don’t miss it either. they were unbearable.
