See a neurologist/headache specialist - they will be much more helpful than a GP. Everyone’s triggers are different, but I would suggest getting on something as a prophylactic measure and having an abortive measure handy. I’ve tried a ton of stuff but what has worked in reducing the frequency and severity of my migraines has been Nortriptyline as a prophylactic and sumatriptan as an abortive. There is also a new class of headache/migraine medicine known as CGRP inhibitors which are primarily prophylactic but are also starting to come in an abortive form. These have shown great efficacy and are specifically designed from the ground up to treat headache/migraine. They’re new and pricy since insurance doesn’t want to cover them quite readily, so seeing a neurologist will be advisable as they will figure out the fastest way for you to fulfill insurance requirements for these CGRP inhibitors.
