Keep a migraine diary.

Keeping a migraine diary is an excellent way to help your doctor or healthcare professional treat your migraine. In addition, a diary helps you to recognize potential triggers and unique patterns of your illness.

Some tips that may reduce the frequency of migraine attacks:

  • Avoid potential triggers
  • Eat meals on a regular schedule
  • Follow a regular sleep routine
  • Exercise regularly, focusing on low-impact activities such as walking, swimming, or cycling
  • Develop techniques to reduce stress (hobbies, biofeedback, relaxation training)
