Migraines that are linked to your menstrual cycle usually occur without an aura and their timeframe is usually during the two days before or two days after menstruation begins. Most women who suffer from migraines will have them throughout the month, but a small group of women will exclusively have these menstrual migraines.

You can reduce menstrual migraines by creating a therapy plan that targets migraine prevention, which provides rescue medications that immediately intervene during early onset of an attack and identifying common triggers like stress. Steering clear of sodium and MSG can also help to prevent PMS bloat and migraine pain.
