Migraine Diary

One of the best ways to help manage your migraines is to keep a migraine diary. The Migraine Diary is a simple but effective migraine management tool that involves patients in their own care. The Migraine Association of Ireland can supply patients or health professionals with Migraine Diaries. The diary also monitors the success or failure of treatments and medications. It can help to collect information about the frequency, duration, and intensity of migraine attacks before a doctor visit to ensure that this important information is shared.

Factors to Include in Your Migraine Diary

When your migraine occurred?
Location and type of pain
Intensity of your migraine
Any possible symptoms. Disruptions in your daily activity
Menstrual cycle
Any possible migraine triggers
Any preventative medications taken
Any medication taken during your migraine

Migraine Diary - Beta blockers use

How they work
Beta blockers prevent vaso-constrictive sympathetic nerve messages from acting at receptor sites.

Disadvantages
Beta blockers prevent bronchial dilation, so can cause asthma. Tiredness and cold extremities are frequent problems, with low blood pressure and heart rate.
