Can You Treat Chills Associated with Migraines?
Symptoms of migraines, including chills, may be treated with many medications and drugs. These include prophylactic medications and acute medications.
In general, prophylactic medications play a key role in preventing chronic cases of migraines. These include:
– Beta-blockers can dilate the blood vessels and block the effects of adrenaline
– CGRP antagonists block migraine-linked components with antibody therapy
– Anticonvulsants help calm the brain’s nerves
– Antidepressants can alter the brain’s neurotransmitter levels
– Calcium channel blockers can control the relaxation and contraction of blood vessels
Acute medications are effective in easing the symptoms of migraines, including chills. These include:
– Ergotamines can ease pain by contracting blood vessels
– Painkillers can alleviate inflammation and pain
– Opioids can be used to ease the pain when standard painkillers are not effective enough
– Triptans may contract blood vessels and alter levels of serotonin to reduce inflammation and pain [6]
