Chronicmigraine-and-fasting. Advice?
I have chronic migraine, but recently, they have worsened. My head and neck hurt constantly, and the only time I feel relief is when I am asleep. This makes studying difficult, and the stress of not being able to focus triggers more migraines.
I have an important competitive exam in April and worry about how fasting for Ramadan might affect my condition. Is it safe for me to fast? If so, how can I manage migraines during fasting? Please suggest medication timing, diet, or lifestyle changes that may help. Your advice would mean a lot.
Need more details regarding your headache. How frequently do you get migraine episodes? Are you on prophylaxis treatment for migraine currently? Migraine management may require both medications as well as lifestyle measures. If you already know your headache triggers, avoid them. Maintain a headache journal to identify your triggers if you haven't done yet. Adequate hydration,sleep and stress control is recommended. For more individualised advice, please connect with a Neurologist.
