If you've had one migraine, do you then become susceptible to getting them again?

Question

Haz, I've just come off it actually, and just had a baby...lol My god it hurt. I think it only scared me because I haven't had one before though.

Answer 1

I reckon so...although I'm not sure, because when I was 8 I got one, and since then I have always got them. My doctor told me I could stop them by not eating/drinking:

Coca Cola

Coffee

Orange Juice

Chocolate

Cheese

and that's ALL MY favourite food, so unfortunatley I get alot of migraines =(

I hope for your sake you don't get them again, they're such a pain!

Good luck

Answer 3

I had three migraines over the course of a month ( funnily enough within the first 12 months of giving birth ) and then none ever again.

They frightened the life outta me. If the one you had was bad enough to make you scared get to the GP they have an arsenal of stuff for migraines.

You haven't just started using or changing the pill have you? Classic trigger if you have.

Like I said to GC ..get better soon. X  

Answer 4

Usually, having a migraine is not a one time deal. They generally follow a pattern or are triggered by things such as foods or wines. You should see a neurologist to rule out other conditions and for treatment to prevent further headaches.
