Women suffer from migraines more 3 to 4 times frequently than men, primarily because of hormonal changes.
Many women experience menstrual migraines, with symptoms intensifying during menstrual cycles, pregnancy, or perimenopause. Changes in estrogen levels throughout their menstrual cycle affect pain pathways and how severe migraines become.

Migraines typically involve moderate to severe pain, often on one side, and can come with nausea, sensitivity to light and sound, or visual disturbances. They tend to interfere with daily activities in ways that tension headaches usually don't. Hello Alpha providers can help determine what's causing your symptoms.
While there's no cure for migraines yet, many people significantly reduce their frequency and severity with the right treatment plan. Our goal is to help you manage your migraines effectively so they impact your life as little as possible.
During your first online visit, we'll discuss your headache history, symptoms, triggers, and previous treatments. We'll ask about your overall health and how migraines affect your daily life. This helps us develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Migraine medications that help to reduce the intensity and frequency of the symptoms. Over-the-counter pain relievers, such as Excedrin, may be helpful in those who suffer from mild migraine symptoms. For those with severe migraines, over-the-counter treatments may not relieve their symptoms, and they may require prescription medication.
There are newer migraine medicines that are injected at home (like giving yourself an insulin shot), and are reserved for those who do not respond to traditional medications.
Your Hello Alpha provider will
help you determine which treatment is best for you.
Yes, obtaining a migraine prescription online is possible through telehealth services. Platforms like Hello Alpha offer virtual consultations where licensed healthcare providers assess your symptoms and medical history to prescribe appropriate migraine medications. This process allows you to receive personalized care without the need for in-person visits.
While there is no instant cure for migraines, certain strategies can provide rapid relief:
Medications: Over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen can be effective for mild migraines. For moderate to severe cases, prescription medications like triptans (e.g., sumatriptan) are commonly used.
Lifestyle Measures: Resting in a dark, quiet room, applying cold or warm compresses to the head or neck, and staying hydrated can help alleviate symptoms.
The term "5 C's of migraines" is not a recognized medical concept. However, common migraine triggers often include:
Caffeine: Both excessive consumption and withdrawal can trigger migraines.
Chocolate: Contains compounds like tyramine and phenylethylamine, which may provoke migraines in some individuals.
Cheese: Aged cheeses are rich in tyramine, a potential migraine trigger.
Cured Meats: Processed meats with nitrates or nitrites can lead to migraines.
Citrus Fruits: Some people report migraines after consuming citrus fruits, possibly due to their acidity or other compounds.
There isn't a single "best" migraine medication, as effectiveness varies among individuals. Commonly prescribed medications include:
Triptans: Such as sumatriptan and rizatriptan, effective for acute migraine relief.
Gepants: A newer class of medications targeting the CGRP pathway, offering an alternative for those who cannot take triptans.
Ditans: Such as lasmiditan, another option for acute treatment, especially for individuals with cardiovascular concerns.
