how to stay active
Hello everyone,
I've been dealing with migraines most of my life (33F) and I really feel hopeless. I have trouble staying consistent in my training (strength training in gym) and therefore cannot loose the extra weight I gained. I have started running last year but almost every run triggers a migraine for me. I run slowly and try to keep my bpm under 170, that way there is a possibility to avoid a migraine, but does not always work. 2 days ago I went for a bike ride (15 km around the city, easy, no hills) and have gotten the worst migraine of my life, ended up in the hospital.
Does anyone have a similar experience or have any idea how to stay active without getting a migraine?
Currently I am on Amitriptyline (1/2 25 mg), during the attack I take sumatriptan and/or Indomethacin. My doctor recommended Ajovy and that will probably be a next step.
