To ask for migraine relief tips

I've had headaches in the past but a few months ago I suffered my first migraine with aura. The pain was excruciating. And I thought I was going blind in one eye! I visited my GP (pre lockdown) and they gave me some sumatriptan tablets to take if I felt it start again.

It happened once again in the same week and then nothing.

Until yesterday. Unfortunately I was away from home and my tablets. I had the aura last night and this morning I feel as though I have had my head repeatedly stamped on. I feel sick if I move. Everything seems quite bright. I've taken some cocodamol as I had some in from bad period pain this month. It's eased it slightly. Any tips for anything else that might help? Hot compress. Cold compress. I have no idea what to do with myself.

I started Topiramate in March, just before lockdown. Was on Propranolol before, but they had started to lose their effect.

Topiramate seems to be working so far, fingers crossed. I had some weird side effects at first but they passed fairly quickly. One good thing is my appetite has decreased massively and I've managed to lose a stone since March! (I put on a couple of stone over the years on beta blockers).
