Hi aranel,   How many days a week do you take something to relieve these headaches? Taking any kind of pain medication --prescription or over-the-counter-- or abortives, like triptans, more than two or three days a week can make matters worse by causing medication overuse headache (MOH), aka rebound. See Medication Overuse Headache - When the Remedy Backfires for more information on this.   Anyone who has three or more Migraines a month needs to be talking with their doctor about prevention. There's growing evidence that Migraine is a progressive brain disease. A recent study showed that Migraines can cause brain damage, and that people with three or more Migraines a month are more susceptible to this damage. For more information, see Is Migraine a Progressive Brain Disease? and Yes, Migraines Can Cause Brain Damage. We have some information on exertional Migraine you may be interested in by reading these questions from our Ask the Clinician section.   I hope this helps, Nancy
