Migraine is the most common significant type of headache and is, by nature, recurring. To minimize recurrences, try to manage your triggers to the best of your ability, which can be quite helpful. If your attacks are frequent, your doctor can prescribe preventive medications which you will have to take daily.

Some food that are known as triggers are MSG, meats with sodium nitrate, aged cheese, wheat, red wine, chocolate, and yeast. There may be other triggers specific to your headaches.
