During a couple of weeks i always woke up with a migraine, I dont know why, i always have migraine but not that much during the morning when i woke up, maybe it the weather who is changing so much, it very hot and after a other day it very cold, maybe it stress or anxiety. I take motrine migraine, it help a bit but after a few hours I have a migraine again but did they have something else more strong to get aways those migraines and why now i have it all the time when i woke up?
WhiteSnow...
I also suffer from migraines in the morning, just after I wake up. However, I usually get them on the weekends or on days when I oversleep. I know it seems weird to get "too much" sleep, but I have read that oversleeping can trigger migraine.
Also, check the ingredients on the Motrin migraine...I'm not sure that it's anything besides ibuprofen (the same as regular Motrin or Advil). I use Excedrin Migraine. It's a combo of acetominophen, aspirin and caffeine working together... I only take one and it works really well. Beats using some of those heavy prescriptions like Fiorocet!
Hi WhiteSnow, when I get a migraine it is most likely to be in the early morning. A neurologist once told me that migraines follow a time clock...something to do with the hypothalmus (sp) gland. I have also noticed that I will start to get headachey right before a bm. I am taking verapamil (calcium channel blocker) as a preventative, which seems to help. I also have an oxygen tank for breakthrough headaches. I try to avoid pain killers as I have found that they will bring on additional headaches (rebound). I never believed that a few years ago, I used to eat T3s like candy.
I have cluster migraines, and right now I am going through a cycle. I am careful of the foods I eat. Nitrates and highly processed foods are almost certain to cause a breakthrough headache for me..always in the morning, not a great way to start the day!!

I was told to take ibuprofen as a preventative a few years back. I'm assuming that it does help some people, although it didn't help me. Headaches suck
Morning Migraine Headhache!
