Why would i suddenly get migraines now at the age of 40?

I have never had a headache let alone a migraine and now in the last 2 weeks i have had 3 ...i thought they were mini strokes but i looked online and found that i had the migraine auras and after i get the auras i get a headache. and please don't tell me it is stress because i do not have any additional stress in my life and i am a very mellow person.

Reasons are many, pl see what suits you.
If you are in cold country use all warm things.
Pl try cold water bath and observe if in hot country, if pain increases use warm.
If you have cough/cold body hot water bath will help.
Massage and exercise in front of morning sun is good thing, pl try.
Pl try simple acupressure given below for immediate relief.
If it fails you will have to go for Acupuncture.

There is hardly any medicine for H/A OR MIGRAINE. Not only these but for RA, OA, Back ache, Ear ache/ringing, Stomach ache and almost all painful diseases. Hence they become chronic.

Acidity, WORRY, sadness, excessive wind, cold , heat, sour food and sinusitis, constipation, intestinal inflammation; drug side effects, stress, bad smell, TV & COMPUTER SOMETIMES, Blockage in the flow of Vital Energy, BODY CONSTITUTION etc are their causes.
None of them can be treated with medicine.
Our 100% success in treating migraine &H/A confirms it.

Acupuncture is the best treatment.
I can treat it with naturopathy and YOG, but how can you manage pl see.

Pain killers don't treat the pain but we loose the sense of pain for some time; in that duration our body itself treats sometime and credit goes to meds.
The useless drugs have tremendous power of side effects like liver/kidney failures, ulcer, inflammation of intestines and lot more.

Avoid late sleeping if possible; worry, tension, spicy foods, sour fruits, stale bakery foods, SMOKING and alcohole.

Sweet foods, COCOANUT WATER,sweet fruits like dates, milk, rice, SPROUTS, SALADS and good sleep will help if cough is not there.

But you try one herbal remedy- two drops of drumstick leaves' juice in opposite nostril if one side pains and both nostrils if full H/A will give you rescue. Betel leaf helps but it is very strong.

If it is acute pl search a painful point (with round tipped pen/jimmy) 3-6 mm behind your thumb nail and press it, H/A will disappear within 30 seconds.

For forehead/eye pain the points are in front of nails on the finger tips or 3-7 mm below.

It may disappear naturally too.

I agree with those that have told you to go to a doctor.

I have been getting mostly mild headaches for twelve months... BUT there have been some doozies that caused me to call in sick for work and a couple that were bad enough for me to go home from work...

I had taken myself to the Doctor a few times re them. She sent me for a cat scan and an x-ray.. fortunately they came back clear. She refered me to a Physiotherapist...

He found a tiny joint in my neck that is not flexing as it should and he believes that that may have been the cause. He worked on it and my upper back for about 20 minutes. It was my first visit and I had a headache when I attended.

It wasn't until after I left the clinic that I realised my headache had gone. I woke up the next morning and felt fantastic and today I have been headache free as well.

I have to see the Physio tomorrow again.

But the point to my long story was .. I didn't know what was causing these headaches .. and they were rather disabilitating.. I thought that they COULD have been migrains... Turns out to be a tiny neck joint.

Don't self Diagnose ... SEE A DOCTOR.

i agree going to a dr would be your best bet. however, men and women alike go through a "change of life" w/men however, the symptoms are not usually as severe or talked about as much as women. your body may just be going through some chemical changes and once it's done the head pain may stop. other than that i don't know. try going to webmd.com and see if they have a better answer for you. gd luck

I would check with your doctor. He may want to do a CT scan or MRI of your brain. Don't diagnose yourself.

stress my friend :). take a break from work or something

maybe a popped brain vessel. go 2 the doctor
