Hi Nirmala,

what you have suggested is correct. I would also suggest him to take up meditation because i have benefited from it i am able to manage my stress and anxiety levels to a great extent. Moreover meditation helps in living a focused and peaceful life.

Thanks,

Lakshmi

I disagree about stress as a Migraine trigger. Even the International Headache Society has removed stress from their list of triggers and put it on a list of exacerbating factors that make us more susceptible to our triggers. I have yet to meet a person who didn't find that it is NOT stress that's their trigger, but what they DO or do not do during stessful times that are the triggers. During times of stress, people skip meals, don't drink enough and get dehydrated, don't sleep well, cry, etc. THESE are the triggers.
