While medication can provide immediate relief, a long-term solution requires identifying and addressing the root causes. There is a strong connection between gut health and migraines. Health issues like constipation or an imbalance in the gut microbiome can often manifest as chronic headaches.
One will always get early migraine signs and symptoms which you shouldn’t ignore, like feeling thirsty, tiredness, fatigue, sleeplessness, light headedness, irritation, anxiety and difficulty in concentration.

Add magnesium-rich foods to your daily diet like nuts and seeds, cocoa nibs, almond butter, pumpkin seeds and leafy greens.
Vitamin D is very important as it helps to absorb magnesium in the body. So, make sure to check your vitamin D levels. Sometimes your doctor might even advise you to get an allergy or food intolerance tests done.
