Migraine Attack: Migraine is a headache that often affects one side of the head and can be extremely painful, throbbing or throbbing. It often comes with a high sensitivity to light and sound as well as nausea and vomiting. The pain of a migraine attack can be so intense that it interferes with your routine activities and can last for hours or even days.
Vomiting may provide some relief for people suffering from migraine headaches and nausea. However, not much investigation has been done in this matter.
Is Nausea a Side Effect of Migraine?
For some migraine patients, nausea can manifest as anorexia, in which case you simply have no appetite and refuse to eat because you are afraid of getting sick.
Sweating may indicate more severe nausea, and if the migraine does not stop, the person may be likely to vomit.
Does throwing up relieve a migraine attack?
Some migraine patients, especially those who are younger, know that throwing up during an episode will set off an attack. Although there may be other factors at play, we do know that vomiting will reduce intracranial pressure.
It is recommended to drink water after vomiting to prevent dehydration.
Can eating certain foods or skipping meals cause nausea or a migraine?
Nausea can be a sign of a migraine attack, which can also be caused by certain foods and like some patients are advised to skip meals that are dairy, spicy food or even a particular dish (yes , weird!). Only a small number of individuals will experience nausea at first, and it is unusual for people to do something that causes nausea followed by a migraine attack.
It is a good idea for people suffering from headaches or migraines to regularly eat breakfast, lunch and dinner with a few snacks throughout the day as skipping meals can trigger a migraine attack.
Vomiting can help with migraine headache symptoms because it:
At the end of a migraine attack, changes in blood flow that reduce pain or inflammation and release of pain-reducing chemicals, including endorphins, result in a reduction in symptoms.

In the end, it’s essential to realize when you’re having a migraine attack that it’s your body’s way of telling you to rest! So the next time you feel sick or realize your migraine has started, make sure you lie down and rest in a cool, dark room.
