I would guess you need to to rehydrate your minerals, etc. A lot of us get migraines from not having enough magnesium in our system daily. I would drink a Gatorade or pedialyte right away and take a multi-vitamin to help your body replace everything you have sweated out. It might make the recovery better.

I take generic Topamax. I discovered that it can increase your body temp and then if you get outside in the heat and get active and start sweating, you can start getting overheated--which happens to me and it puts me completely down flat to recover. I'll get a migraine if I don't quit and stay down with the air conditioning and fan on and the ice packs on my neck and my head.

Now, I can't be sure, but it may have to do with some of the meds and whether you get overheated.

I'm already taking all the vitamins and stuff, but it doesn't impact the migraines.

You dont say if you ate anything that might trigger one..

Sometimes they just happen but usually it isnt warm weather for me. Sometimes looking back there is a possible explanation but sometimes not. From your description though your body was "challenged" by the help you were giving your mother. You had already had a slight headache..

When I used to get worse migraines than I have been getting the past year to eighteen months I could usually tell in the morning it might happen and I tried to structure my day so that I could drop out and lie down if necessary.

If it is hot outside and you have cool air conditioning going from the hot to cold suddenly can be at the very least headache inducing. And the light changes too from inside to out on hot days - light is a trigger for me.

Just thoughts. I am glad you felt better within an hour or so. Sometimes these things can last a couple of days.

yes I have been getting this also . I actually had this happen to me Sunday , I got so hot flushed , dizzy and felt like I was gonna pass out , I had trouble walking , needless to say I was up the whole night with tingling sensations and pressure in my head , I even went to the er , and they said everything came back *normal *

The weather is a big trigger for my migraines. When I get too hot and start sweating I am certain to get a migraine. The ones that I wake up with are the worst. You have to remember that migraines can be made much worse with physical activity. When you have one you should limit your activity to going to the bathroom and eating. Always drink lots of fluid. If you are dealing with nausea try drinking lemon water. The lemon helps to neutralize the acids in your stomach and reduce the chances of vomiting. I used to take phenergan all the time but that also sucks the fluid from your body. The lemon now does the trick for me and it's one medication that I can eliminate from my diet. I have not found that vitamins help me in any way to avoid a migraine but many neurologists believe that there is a link and so it couldn't hurt to try.
Another thing that I've realized is that when my feet or head feel really hot I have to put them on ice to avoid a migraine. When I get hot and flush the first thing that I do is bust out an ice packs from the freezer. I put one on the top of my head and the other on my feet to cool them down. Sometimes it works and sometimes I've waited to long for it to work. Catching it earlier is so much better. Good luck and I hope you find some valuable information from the responses here.

Yes - if I get overheated or if I work too hard (physically) I can get a migraine. And then I get really red and hot. Laying down in a cool room is best. I can't drink a ton of water or gatorade when I have a migraine - it just causes more nausea than I already have. Only small sips of tea. (earl grey with bergamot)
