Hey - I have joined here as I turn over every stone to help with my 13 year old son who has suffered from migraine headaches since the age of 9. His migraines have worsened over the years - greater frequency and intensity as he ages. we just came off series that included 10 straight school days and 1 weekend night. We find barometric pressure and anxiety his major triggers (though he is really a low key kid whose anxiety rarely shows) He takes nasal imatrex - which has helped him bounce back more quickly than maxalt, his previous medication. His neurologist just put him on Propanolol (sp?), 2 10 mg doses per day. We also had blood work done this morning and he will have a catscan next week - he hasn't had one since he was 9. Can anyone tell me more about Propanolol - any side effect concerns. I have his pediatrician and neurologist in the loop, want to make sure I am doing all I can. Thanks!
