I used to have this problem a lot. Stress, excitement, and lighting conditions played a big part. The discovery of alcohol taken in volume dealt with a lot of the stress but only to produce what was actually a far worse problem.
The main thing for me is that it would or will start with a headache that simply cannot be ignored. This can be really hard if you are doing something you think is vital because there is no stress free option. So I had to be able to convince myself that my well being was more important than most things, and do all of the things that would bring the headache down, the minute I noticed it - including sensible medications.
It doesn't happen now. Partly by me being aware of the environments (and diets) that don't work well, and avoiding them. I am also a much calmer person than I was.
Do any other men suffer from migraines?
