When you are having migraines, it is a sign for you to stop whatever you are doing and just lie down for 10 to 15 minutes. Although you might feel you do not want to waste your time because you have too many things on your plate, but a rest is really needed when you are having a headache. Imagine if you keep on forcing yourself to keep doing your work, the quality produced will not be as ideal as you wanted it to be because you are not at your best state to perform.

Place a cold pack on your forehead for 10 to 15 minutes or take a cold shower which can lessen the pain.
