Migraine + nausea

Hi, I have had a migraine for the past week and nausea. Does anyone have any advice? I have a doctors appointment next week. I have had a neurological check/ scan so I know its nothing sinister. I'd rather not take medication...

@KrisAkabusi Ah I am trying to get pregnant and keep seeing how various meds effect fertility :( Otherwise trust me I would be popping those pills

I don't understand why you wouldn't want to take medication .Anti-migraine drugs work. Why put yourself through the pain unnecessarily?

Hot or cold compress to forehead or back of neck. Cold compress to soles of feet. Red lens glasses.

Buccastem and sumatriptan together if you do decide to take medication.

Mine were caused by caffeine, sugar and dairy. Randomly appears after a medical issue.
I ended up in A&E with mine. Scan all clear so was recommended to cut the above three out then slowly reintroduce after a few months.
It reduced my migraines alot. I only get one occasional now if I eat too much sugar for a period of time.
